Fabscrap announced that it has secured partnerships with Philadelphia’s
URBN and Seattle-headquartered
Nordstrom, which includes major investments by the retailers. Initiatives include expanding from the New York City area and upgrading the company’s digital infrastructure. Fabscrap’s efforts include fabric sorting and redistribution of textile waste to divert these materials away from the landfill.
