I am 53 years old and I have been recycling since it was 15. I am crying throughout this video because the world at large is still trashing our environment with our waste. However, I now have the exquisite joy to be able to do something helpful to clean and care for the planet along with my daughter, and our customers - through this man’s radical and award winning Eco business concepts. And I can tell you that these people have it sussed on all levels and never stop making their business more solution oriented. They are game changers and activists in real time. Unlike most businesses, their expansion means less future waste, less future toxins, less future energy pollution and less future landfill - their expansion means more environment regeneration now, more recycling and repurposing now, more creative clothing now and more education to the ones who will listen, now. We are so glad to be involved in your story, Sir. We came for the organically farmed cotton we got so much more - You guys inspire us everyday to do better. Amazing talk - well done, for again bringing your life passion to the table, however vulnerable you feel. 🙌🏻

Love this! Totally agree, 40% wastage on the cutting room floor is crazy. Bright minds and creative problem solving is the way forward, circular fashion with quality natural materials. We need to change the way the world and business works and take control of our decisions and outcomes.

Mart, I LOVE how your mind works! Tell your Mum, she did a great job of teaching you how to think. I swear 90% of the world's problems are caused by people who simply don't think. They complain, the play the part, they follow the rules but they never question why and they rarely seek to be the change they're looking for. You are truly inspiring xx

Awesome talk Mart! Can't wait to share this with my team at work, to help us all look at 'waste' and the 'rules' from a totally different perspective. Thanks Teemill. 👌🏻

Loved this talk. It's great what you've done in innovating such a sensible and earth friendly way of creating and recycling clothing! I hope more and more companies will keep adopting your business model!

there used to be a time when clothing was made based on customer orders, they were called Atelier's. Once mass production was introduced into society we were no longer customers, we became CONSUMERS. Now, several decades later, the realization that this way of selling was actually good.

Thank you for an excellent talk highlighting the insanity of the world we live in. I have never been able to comprehend how people appear to care so little about this beautiful planet. Proud to be a Rapanui customer.

So thankful I accidently found your website! This is a touching story and so inspiring on so many levels. Thank you!

What a cracking talk, shared on my socials. Everyone needs to be thinking this way.

I like your story and I've signed up to your site. I'm now designing my shop and have designed a couple of products. Power to your elbow and your ethics.

Absolutely fantastic can't wait for al the other industry to catch up with this approach to manufacturing. Keep up the great work guys.....👍👍👍👍

The world need more people like you ❤🙏

Flippin’ brilliant. Really well put together Mart. Inspiring.

crying after watching this, thank you guys SO much i would love to work with teemill one day

Excellent work and very inspiring

Absolutely fantastic. Brilliantly executed.

Love your talk. Very enlightening, inspiring and educational. I am from South East Asia and works in the real estate industry particularly in design and construction. From my part of the world we are not up to speed on circular economy models like what you have shared. I am very interested how I can be part of your endeavor from this part of the world and contribute to the its cause. Thank you.

Great talk and delighted to now be working with you guys

Very inspiring, I like your ethic and determination to do something worth doing well. Thanks...

V impressive, have just bought some Rapanui clothes so will be contributing to the circular economy. we also did this when we were younger by remaking clothes.

Interesting talk, and you are right the linear process from consumer to trash, is farcical. Manufacturers need raw materials, it's usually their biggest cost as a percentage. Enabling a system that send them a raw material that would have been trash, and turning it into a usable raw material to start the process again is the only sensible solution.

Amazing. What an inspiration.

Excellent ted talk, really we’ll explained and thought provoking.

Awesome guys!

Amazing!

Such an awesome, flowing and enthralling ted talk! Excellent public speaking skills and engaged me for the whole time on a topic which some may feel is ‘boring’. Informative and progressive!

Amazing, thank you for this, very , very inspiring

loved this talk

Great talk, love your ethos and your products.

I love this!

Greetings Give Thanks.

Hello teemilo. Can i do the website in other language??

As someone who is somewhat addicted to buying band T-shirts, I wish all bands would source their products from ethical and environmentally conscious companies like Teemill. Is there any way to spot a Teemill shirt before buying online or at a gig?

In Sweden we´ve had a recycling program for bottles and cans for ages! Our program let the consumers to return used materials everywhere, not just in the store you bought it in. It´s really, really wrong for me to go abroad and make just that: drink the soda and throw away the bottle in a waste bin. If we can - WHY can´t you in other countries? In Sweden all the producers are responsible for and contribute to the system and products without the possibility of recycling are not allowed in stores. And consumers are getting payed for their cans and bottles. Take a look at our system and benchmark it! Or stop drinking sodas 🙂

Well said Mart, more and more people feel your words!

Due to the fact that my payment has been made on time, you should act now. It's been a while since I was able to access getrealthinkagain.
