Open Source Circular Textiles Workshop Partner: KHEPRW Institute Indianapolis, IN March 23rd, 2017 Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017

Agenda Welcome and Introductions Open Source Circular Economy – what is it and why should you be interested in it? Open Source Circular Textiles – what are they, how are they useful to you and our local community? Hands-on activities Next workshop: June 2017 Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017

Open Source Circular Economy – What is it? is a successful collaboration method for developing software, hardware and design. It is based on transparent (and often distributed) development, and the open sharing of files and solutions. Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017

Open Source Circular Economy – What is it? is the concept of a truly sustainable economy that works without waste, saves resources and is in synergy with the biosphere. Rather than seeing emissions, byproducts, or damaged and unwanted goods as ‘waste’, in the circular economy they become raw material, nutrients for a new production cycle. Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017

Open Source Circular Economy – What is it? We believe that a sustainable, waste free, circular economy needs transparency, open access to information and open source solutions. Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017

Open Source Circular Economy – What is it? Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017

Life’s Essential Elements Natural nuclear fusion power plant Virtually free, infinite Renewable Global impact Earth’s Biogeochemical and Hydrological Cycles Maintain Reuse Remanufacture Recycle Nourish Increase/Maintain Reduce/Eliminate Renewable Virgin Non-toxic Toxic Non-virgin Socially bad Non- renewable Socially good All individual and business decisions and actions, no matter how small, lead to large aggregate impacts Bring human life and activities in balance with Earth’s main cycles and finitude Bring human-made world in balance with the natural world where diversity, resilience, redundancy, smallness, interdependence, waste-is-food, slowness are the keys to survive and thrive There is no trash, no waste, no landfill in nature Energy/Material Flows Energy/Material Flows Minimize irreducible waste/leakage Create feedstocks that do not disrupt Earth’s cycles C, H, N, O, P, S Life’s Essential Elements Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017

In both planes, waste not acceptable Local action PRODUCT CIRCLES BIO-BASED/NATURAL MATERIALS TECHNICAL/SYNTHETIC MATERIALS $ $ A solution to the wicked problems we have created in the last 300 years A major opportunity for doing things differently with a positive impact on all 3 sustainability dimensions Economic: good jobs, meaningful work, equity, fairness, dematerialize, renewable resources, local prosperity and resilience Social: human rights, good life, health, no poverty, dignity, equal opportunity for all Natural: eliminate waste and emissions, value biodiversity, don’t be “the most invasive species” Operates on two planes Product circles within flows of natural and technical materials between producers, servicers and users Growth and disposal are replaced by circles of maintenance, long-lasting value and usage Local symbiosis connects market and non-market stakeholders with the shared goal of prosperity and sustainability for all In both planes, waste not acceptable For every waste flow, feedstock demand is searched or created LOCAL SYMBIOSIS Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017

Open Source Circular Economy – Why should you care? The change since our June 2016 OSCEdays event. Not good. Note the re-scaling due to data points moving higher http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/weekly.html Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017

Open Source Circular Economy – Why should you care? “Earth's 2016 surface temperatures were the warmest since modern recordkeeping began in 1880, according to independent analyses by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Globally-averaged temperatures in 2016 were 1.78 degrees Fahrenheit (0.99 degrees Celsius) warmer than the mid-20th century mean. This makes 2016 the third year in a row to set a new record for global average surface temperatures.” http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/maps/ Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017

The hidden reality and costs of textile manufacturing If you really need to buy a piece of clothing, whenever you check the label, before you look at the price, take a moment to think who made it, in what conditions, what are its impacts on the sustainability of your community and the planet Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017

Open Source Circular Textiles – What are they? Textiles include a wide range of consumer and industrial products: from clothing to ship sails. Textiles cover basic needs, but also a myriad of wants. Let’s focus on the basic needs and reduce the wants created by relentless marketing and status seeking. Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017

Open Source Circular Textiles – What are they? Re-Sails - repurposed sails Reuse Maintain Clothing repair - ifixit free manual Remanufacture Increase/Maintain Renewable Non-toxic Recycle A few examples of how the principles of open source circular economy apply to textiles Non-virgin Socially good Nourish Energy/Material Flows http://community.oscedays.org/t/public-wiki-circular-textiles/784 Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017

Open Source Circular Textiles – How are they useful to you and our local community Save money Make money Create and maintain skills at every level, vocational and professional Create and keep enterprises, social or commercial, local (e.g. repair is mostly non-tradable work) Eliminate textile waste to landfill (the average US citizen sends 70 lbs/year to landfills)* Create opportunities for innovation ( new materials, new uses for materials, rent instead of buy business model) Eliminate chemical, air, water and other pollution ( non-fossil based materials, non-toxic dyes) Inspire collaboration and solution sharing for fast, effective, positive impact * http://www.weardonaterecycle.org/about/issue.html Open Source Circular Economy Days 2017 - Indianapolis IN March 23, 2017
