Trashie

Our new episode features Kristy Caylor, founder and CEO of Trashie. Hear Kristy talk with Conor Gaughan about how she employs a systems engineering approach to business, what she learned working at top fashion brands versus building her own, and why Trashie’s approach to textile upcycling is a win-win for everyone involved.

Thank you Ginger Zee and Good Morning America for bringing this story to life. Clothing waste is a mainstream issue and seeing the topic discussed on mainstream TV is a dream.  What an exciting moment for Trashie and I was honored to join my friend Maxine Bédat in this thoughtful segment.  https://lnkd.in/dbQJtS24

Sustainability does not have to be boring as hell. Read about how Trashie is tackling clothing waste AND making it fun in this fantastic interview with our CEO Kristy Caylor in Glamour. (whispers ~ also get free shipping on all Take Back Bags at Trashie.io) https://lnkd.in/ek-383-C

Congrats to Trashie CEO Kristy Caylor – and we're only just getting started! 💖♻️

I am thrilled and honored to join the incredible women on Inc. Magazine's 2024 Female Founders List. The list features women who have overcome challenges and lifted those around them while leading impactful organizations across the country. From Diana Ransom, Inc. Executive Editor: “The past year, for many, will go down as one of the hardest ever—between a funding freeze and ad-spending pull back. The female founders on this year’s list are a testament to what triumph over adversity looks like. They should all be proud of this singular accomplishment.”  Onward!! https://lnkd.in/eii8J5tw

Today is a massive day for us.  Trashie and Walmart have come together for Earth Month to offer Walmart + members exclusive access to a free small Take Back Bag that they can fill with all of their unwanted clothing. Members return their TBB to us for recycling in exchange for $10 in TrashieCash, redeemable for a $10 Walmart gift card.  I’m very proud to say that this offer sold out today in 5 hours. I’ve been working in sustainability for 15 years. For the first time, I can say with confidence that we are, in 2024, finally at an inflection point where sustainability can be an accessible norm rather than an exclusive exception. Many of us know the contrast between the wish and the reality. We say we want a better system, but in practice sustainability is adopted by a small community of vigilant folks who are willing to go the extra mile, are willing to pay more, or are willing to compromise. Today is different.   With this partnership, we have the opportunity to change a core behavior for millions of people.  We can stop textiles from going into the trash because we have made recycling easy, rewarding, and very importantly, fun. We also make it simpler and more profitable for a retailer the size of Walmart to engage in circularity at scale. That’s a big win. We aren’t going to fix the ENTIRE consumer industry with one launch, but we are chipping away at it one Take Back Bag at a time. We are grateful for the opportunity to present our solution to such an important consumer segment at one of the most influential merchants in the world (Walmart, obvi.) We can’t wait to continue the momentum and growth. Look out for our full suite of Take Back Bags at Walmart.com and for news as Trashie continues to grow and engage the consumer industry in the change we need to see.

Let's make fashion circular, one bag at a time! 💚 #TrashieTakeBack #SustainableFashion #ReduceReuseRecycle Walmart Huge shout out to Anastasia Smolina and Kristy Caylor for bringing this to life at Walmart!!! #gamechanger The Take Back Bag for Clothing Recycling https://lnkd.in/gTQkgS9h

Happy International Women’s Day! I think we need more than one day, right ladies? Did you know that in 2023, companies with founding teams that are all women only received 1.8% of all venture funding?  Which is crazy to me because the female founders I know and admire are beyond smart, tenacious, and relentless in their pursuit.  They have and will continue to positively transform the world. Natalie Massenet Brooke Wall Stacy Flynn Alana Ackerson Natasha Franck Lauren Singer Britt Morgan-Saks Ceci Kurzman For Days (+ Trashie) was founded by women, is led by women, and in fact, our board is comprised of ALL women.  Huge shout out to Sasha Novograd Brown Brooke Hammerling Caroline Brown Mary Saunders. Why is this so rare? It is certainly NOT because women aren’t smart enough, analytical enough, creative enough, or because we have the babies.  Insert Reshma Saujani here because I am OBSESSED with the work she is doing.  More on that later... Thank you to all the incredible women who have and continue to inspire me. Today we celebrate!! https://lnkd.in/ekZwRyib.
