Recycling Revolution, with Belinda Paul

Belinda has worked in the fashion industry for over 25 years and in she founded RCYCL, an organisation that helps solve the textile pollution problem.

RCYCL provides a direct-to-consumer return satchel that allows people to easily recycle their used clothing at the end of its life cycle. The service creates an immediate impact on the environment while contributing to a circular economy.

RCYCL champions consumers, retailers and brand partners for enabling everyday recycling to be at the forefront of their purchasing mindset.

Belinda believes the notion of responsible consumerism is imperative, now more than ever.

If you want to listen to her previous episode with me, you can find it in Season 2, Episode 3 - Responsible Consumerism.

This interview covers a number of great topics, including:

• Belinda’s deep personal motivation behind starting the business.
• The challenges and personal growth in scaling a for-purpose startup.
• Building strategic partnerships with brands and recyclers, and
• Leveraging community and mentorship for business development.
