Unspun, is a podcast by Population. Three sustainability experts, Lauren Hill, Danielle Arzaga and Catherine Tedrow unravel what’s holding us back from regeneration and liberation in the fashion and home industries. The world was already at a tipping point when the pandemic hit. Fashion brands cancelled orders, leaving garment workers unpaid. Not long after, the same workers put their lives at risk to make PPE. In the midst of all this, a racial reckoning swept the U.S. triggering the greatest wave of wokewashing the country had ever seen.
It may not seem like it, but these problems are all interconnected. On this podcast we look at the whole system—and the people within it—to discover why and what it will take to create change.

On this episode of Unspun, Marisa Adler, Senior Consultant at Resource Recycling Systems (RRS), joins Danielle, Lauren, and Catherine for a conversation about overconsumption and textile waste, recycling, and what’s holding us back from a circular system.
From studying national resource management conservation in school to working for local solid waste departments and the NYC Department of Sanitation, Marisa Adler brings a waste and recycling perspective to textile circularity. Several years ago, Adler moved from the NYC Department of Sanitation to her current position at RRS where she primarily focuses on textiles, fashion apparel, and upholstery waste in the U.S.
To hear more of Marisa Adler’s expertise regarding global waste supply chains, what is necessary to create scalable recycling systems, and solutions she has seen, tune into the latest episode of Unspun.
