REthinking Waste - From Recycling to Resources - 10-10-2024 - 03 - Curtain Bank - Healthy homes from textile waste

Show 03 - Curtain Bank - Healthy homes from textile waste - Bank that gives things away you say? Sounds exciting...The Curtain Bank however is not your average bank - no interest rates, open at reasonable hours and driven for purpose. Along Princes Street and up some stairs you can find a wealth of fabric, cotton, curtains and colourful goodies at their eco shop. Today we meet Belinda, the curtain bank manager and discuss how they're creating social good and improving energy efficiency in homes, while also saving tonnes of textile and other waste from landfill every year.
