How do I explain how proud I am of what FABSCRAP is today? And how much gratitude I have for everyone who has been involved? I wish I had some profound way to summarize the last 9 years, to speak to the triumphs and heartbreaks that come with building a startup, leading an organization, and working in sustainability. I'm sure some insight will follow with time and retrospection, but at the moment, it's impossibly bittersweet to begin saying farewell to the work and people who have filled my life with so much meaning and purpose. I’m hopeful my exit creates an opportunity for fresh perspective and enthusiasm, and space for new connections to those with even more relevant skills and experience. I'll be staying on the FABSCRAP Board, so?I'll still be involved in oversight, strategy, and planning.?I'll be indelibly?focused on FABSCRAP’s continued growth and success.?I couldn’t be more confident leaving the organization in Camille’s capable and dedicated hands.

FABSCRAP CEO Jessica Schreiber Announces Departure Jessica Schreiber, Founder of FABSCRAP, will be stepping down from her role as CEO, effective July 2025. Camille Diane Tagle, FABSCRAP’s Co-Founder and Creative Director, will step in immediately upon Schreiber’s exit to lead the organization in an interim capacity while FABSCRAP’s Board of Directors completes a search for FABSCRAP’s next Executive Director. Schreiber will remain a Board Member after her departure. Leading the organization for nearly nine years, Schreiber nurtured FABSCRAP from an idea to critical industry infrastructure. During her tenure, FABSCRAP has provided fabric reuse and recycling service to 881 fashion, interior, and entertainment companies. Its operations have inspired over 11,300 individuals to contribute to textile waste reduction as volunteers. To date, FABSCRAP has successfully evolved sorting, resale, and shredding processes to save nearly two million pounds of fabric from landfill. “I’m infinitely and incredibly proud of what Camille and I have built together, and so grateful to every member, past and present, of the FABSCRAP Team and Board. Their shared vision and commitment is what makes FABSCRAP possible.” said Schreiber. “It’s bittersweet to move on when I’m so excited about the growth of the team, the current work, and all the progress on the horizon.” “When we first met, Jess and I immediately bonded over our dream of what FABSCRAP could be. I couldn't have asked for a more dedicated partner and friend over the years, whose significant contributions have changed the organization - and me - for the better.” said Tagle. “I welcome the opportunity to continue leading FABSCRAP, ensuring that the spirit and heart that Jess and I championed remains alive in every step we take forward.” “I’m hopeful my exit creates an opportunity for fresh perspective and enthusiasm, and space for new connections to those with even more relevant skills and experience. I’ll forever be focused on FABSCRAP’s continued growth and success,” added Schreiber. “I couldn’t be more confident leaving the organization in Camille’s capable and dedicated hands.” “It’s been incredible watching Jess and Camille grow this organization over the last nine years into the reputable organization it is today,” said David Hirschler, FABSCRAP Board President. “I’m excited to continue working alongside Jess as a fellow Board Member as the organization continues to grow.” Schreiber shared her departure plans with the FABSCRAP team and Board earlier this year. Her planned departure aligns with the upcoming birth of her second child and will allow her to focus on her expanding family.

There's a good chance your outfit is shedding microplastics as we speak. 60% of all fabric made today is made from plastic, aka polyester. Every time we wash, wear, or even move in these fabrics, tiny microplastics are released into the air and water, making their way into our oceans, food, and even our bodies. Join us Tuesday for FABSCRAP's panel discussion - The Microplastic Paradox: Navigating Sustainable Textiles - where we’ll dive deep into the hidden impact of synthetic fabrics and explore actionable solutions for consumers, brands, and policymakers alike. ?? Featuring Yoni R., Founder of Moby Filter—sustainability manager, climate-tech entrepreneur, consultant, and researcher. A systems thinker dedicated to holistic, circular solutions, Yoni has worked across industries from sustainable fashion and design to the built environment and technology. ?? Tues. Feb 19th, 6-8p ??
