FABCYCLE

FABCYCLE is a ReUSE Centre and collection service for textile waste. We work directly with Vancouver apparel manufacturers like factories, fashion designers and schools to collect their scraps, off-cuts, deadstock and ends of rolls that are leftover. At our ReUSE Centre we sort, classify and organize these textiles and notions to be sold to our community of customers who are home makers, sewists, and designers.

Our mission is to divert textile waste from the landfill by finding creative solutions, promoting the sustainable mindset of waste as a resource.

In February 2019, we opened the Textile Waste ReUSE Centre in Vancouver, B.C. We acknowledge that we are operating on the traditional, ancestral and unceded lands of the Coast Salish peoples.

The purpose of the ReUSE Centre is to provide an open and inclusive physical space for the local creative community to come together and experiment with textile waste.

We encourage artists, designers and creative minds of all skill levels, backgrounds, orientations and identities to experiment with scraps and deadstock fabric and come up with innovative and exciting ideas to divert textile waste from the landfill.
