who we are
Fashion Circularity Lab
From deadstocks, end of life garments to residual textile waste, we partner with companies and communities to upcycle textiles into fashion products and alternative materials. Our goal is to reduce landfilling, cut emissions, and strengthen circular supply chains
The New Factory is a cooperative experiment for a just circular fashion economy.
We are committed to the shared-ownership model, following in the footsteps of the Mondragon Corporation and many similar cooperative and steward-owned companies worldwide.
why co-operative
Co-operative Model
For too long, the textile industry has rewarded shareholders while leaving its workers underpaid and undervalued. We believe in changing that.
By adopting a co-operative model, we make workers the owners—sharing profits fairly and building an industry that values people as much as products.
Services & Products
We turn textile waste problem into climate action.
Indonesia produces 2.3 million tonnes of textile waste every year, and nearly 90% ends up in landfills, releasing harmful greenhouse gases.
Diverting even 1 tonne of textile waste from landfill can prevent up to 10 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions.
