Both sides of the aisle seem serious about reprioritizing domestic business and manufacturing. In her latest OpEd, Rachel Van Metre Kibbe claims that we have a rare but narrow opportunity to lead the world in manufacturing once again by earmarking substantial funds for circular textiles, the next era of industrial manufacturing. “If we don’t capture this next wave of the Industrial Revolution, someone else will.”

The US Government Accountability Office just released a report on textile waste urging federal action to tackle textile recycling challenges and promote circularity. It is imperative the private sector understands why now is a critical moment to engage further on these issues, before costs for brands and retailers skyrocket. Join a webinar this Thursday led by ACT (American Circular Textiles), the policy coalition we’re proud to be part of, to learn how you can be part of the solution.

Huge congrats to our Chief Product and Technology Officer, Dan DeMeyere, for being named on Modern Retail's 2024 Vanguard list! 🎉 Starting as a junior engineer in 2010 to leading his team in creating an incredible AI-powered secondhand shopping experience, he is an inspiration for engineers and leaders alike. His vision for integrating generative AI into ThredUp's platform, particularly with the launch of Style Chat, is revolutionizing how we shop secondhand today. Thank you to Allison Smith and Modern Retail for this incredible recognition, and congrats to the innovative leaders who are also recognized on this year’s list.
