Compost Clothes

Imagine a textile system where designers and farmers collaborate?

The New York Carbon Farm Network, created by in partnership with , is a first-of-its-kind cooperative where independent designers are joining forces to source Climate Beneficial™ fiber directly from regional farms—all while enhancing soil health, capturing carbon, and boosting the local economy.

Together, proving that the future of textiles is cooperative and regenerative. 🌱

The cold won’t stop us from composting our clothing scraps! ♻️👚

Even in the winter, natural fibers break down - just a lot slower. When temps drop, microbial activity slows down significantly and can even go dormant. Bacteria, fungi, and other decomposers become less active during the colder months, stalling the process, and taking longer for organic matter to break down.

However, don’t let that stop you from composting! Keep your pile growing and let nature do it’s thing.

Who else is still at it despite the frost?

Our naturally dyed scrunchies are safe for your skin, hair, and soil. ❤️

This limited batch is part of the Zero Waste collection crafted from leftover scraps from the production of our clothing.

Each scrunchie is hand-dyed with plant-based pigments, resulting in rich, organic hues that celebrate the beauty of nature.

Now available in silk velvet and charmeuse in every color of the rainbow. 🌈

Natural fibers, drawn from living ecosystems, are essential for building a regenerative future that mitigates climate impacts, reduces microplastic pollution, and encourages responsible production. By making natural fiber textiles a priority, we establish a system that honors ecological boundaries, bolsters land-based economies, and advances community health and fairness. Achieving these goals requires substantial effort, but success depends on reducing our reliance on synthetic fibers and supporting natural fiber systems. It’s time to reconsider the materials in our clothing, starting with the fiber.

By considering each stage of a textile’s lifecycle, we can transform a wasteful system into one that heals both the earth and our communities. A recent Fibershed article explores the role of compostable textiles in creating a regenerative system. Textile composting offers a solution that mirrors nature’s cycles, eventually returning well-used clothing made from healthy natural materials back into nutrient-rich soil that supports future crops. This helps regenerate land and ensures that what we wear has a positive impact on the environment from the beginning to the end of its life.

Learn how planning for compostability can make our textiles healthier and more responsible throughout their production. Compostable textiles can support a regenerative fiber system by making it possible to turn garments (after a long and useful life) back into nutrient-rich soil, helping to heal the earth.

Simply put, we have too much carbon in our atmosphere and too little in our soils.

Conventional ways of farming fiber include deep tilling, mono-cropping, and liberal use of pesticides all of which lead to depleted soil, which can’t draw down carbon or support biodiversity. Through regenerative agricultural practices that are rooted in Indigenous land stewardship, we can rejuvenate the land and enhance the soil’s ability to capture and store carbon. This approach has created the opportunity to completely transform the fashion industry.

For over a decade, Fibershed has partnered with the Carbon Cycle Institute and the Marin Carbon Project researching and measuring the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) impact of agriculture and working lands.

The Climate Beneficial™ wool we use in our beanies and baby bloomers is sourced from ranches that have implemented a carbon farming plan.
