Waste in the apparel industry is a serious problem. That's why various companies are working on how to reduce waste, including re-evaluating the manufacturing process and collecting used clothing.

However, it's not just about recycling used clothes into new clothing. The fiber trading company STYLEM TAKISADA-OSAKA Co., Ltd. is working on the "PLUS∞GREEN PROJECT," which turns clothing into soil.

This time, we spoke with Kazuya Sakamoto from the company's R&D Division about the aims of this project and the allure of the soil made from clothing.
