Ericka, a specialist in circular economy practices, shared insights on reducing waste through innovative composting methods at home. Her work tackles the growing problem of textile waste while offering practical solutions for individuals and businesses alike.
Ericka’s research focuses on how textiles can break down alongside food waste in home composting systems. She examines which fabrics decompose effectively and how the process might be improved. Her findings also extend to broader sustainability strategies for the clothing industry.
