Columbus and central Ohio are becoming a hub for fashion designers and textile manufacturers. In fact, Columbus has more designers than almost any U.S. city—only New York and L.A. have more! Companies like IKEA depend on central Ohioans at Fluvitex to produce every synthetic fiber pillow and comforter sold nationwide, and you can find their product on the Ohio Materials Marketplace, powered by Rheaply.
In episode 5, SWACO welcomes the Ohio EPA and Fluvitex to discuss how brands, manufacturers, and public agencies collaborate through the Ohio Materials Marketplace. This free online platform helps businesses, manufacturers, and non-profits find recycling and reuse solutions for surplus and waste materials.
For companies like Fluvitex, OMM offers opportunities to sell unused inventory, repurpose materials, and reduce landfill waste—all while generating revenue.
