When asked about her decision to join Cryptocycle Karen said…

’When Tony first explained Reward4waste to me, I could immediately see how this could contribute to solving textiles big issues around waste.

For too long fashion has used resources in a take, make and replace way with most items destined for landfill. This is clearly unsustainable.

Fashion needs new solutions that are simple to use and engage citizens to do the right thing to reduce, reuse or recycle.

I’m excited to be advising the Cryptocycle Board as textiles circular economy takes off.’
