Collaborating with Under Armour, I have been leading cohorts (40 students at once) for the past year and a half. Our mission stands on one fact: there are currently no industry-standard methods for recycling spandex, the primary textile in sportswear. This means that items containing spandex must either be used or dumped. The issue is, Under Armour’s facilities hold millions of items which cannot be put on shelves; this may be due to scrapped prototypes, damage/stains, or simply because funding was cut short.
