Winners 'Progress toward circularity' Marie Claire Sustainability Awards

About

Yodomo is a research innovation lab focused on textile reuse. We partner with industry to reduce waste, sell affordable materials to makers and create social and environmental impact by fostering a creative community and sustainable, circular economy.

The current textile system is failing us, and we urgently need solutions. At Yodomo, we’re pioneering new ways to combat textile waste. 

By applying circular principles and systems thinking, we’re transforming today’s damaging linear processes. We redistribute textile 'waste' from the interior design and fashion industries to our community of over 2,000 makers, who reimagine discarded materials into valuable products.

Yodomo has received innovation funding from Innovate UK, SHIFT Innovation, and the Mayor of London.

Yodomo works with industry to find circular solutions for textile waste, putting reuse at the top of the waste hierarchy.  Textile waste is the second biggest contributor to pollution globally.

Our solution enables businesses to easily redistribute 'waste' textiles that can reused by our growing maker community, quickly growing the circularity of materials. 

For businesses that need sustainable solutions for their textile waste, Yodomo provides access to a community of 2,000+ 'creative reuse members'. 

For makers and designers looking for sustainable materials, Yodomo provides low-cost 'waste' materials from quality brands that can be reused. 

Yodomo's mission is to increase wellbeing and promote the understanding of the reuse of materials by facilitating wider participation in making.  

Yodomo was awarded the 'Progress toward circularity' award at the Marie Claire Sustainability Awards 2023 and was ‘Highly Commended’ at the Tech4Good Awards 2022. 

Yodomo works to meet the targets of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals 3: Good Health and Wellbeing and 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.
