This research proposal has four objectives: 1) furthering the Social Benefit Program begun during our current CCSIF research program by developing new high-value jobs for newcomers and people who for various reasons are struggling in the regular labour market, through a legitimate and ethical employment platform that would train subject matter experts (SMEs) to sort and grade post-consumer fast-fashion textiles for re-purposing in other markets. In contrast with the new "green recovery-for-recycling" industry that is dependent upon poor working conditions and cheap labour, our intention is a sustainable program with a socio-economic focus that would build self-esteem, offer respect, and provide economic subsistence to persons who may not otherwise benefit from these circumstances; 2) designing a Textile Diversion Strategy for Societal Benefit which would take the form of an innovative post-consumer waste sorting, grading, and re-purposing (SG&R) methodology, with supporting technology, aimed at both the diversion of Western society's waste from domestic and global landfill, and the dumping of such waste in third-world countries such as the East African Countries (EAC), a practice detrimental to their indigenous economy, health, environment, and, more currently, their global trading status; 3) incorporating Intentional Design and Product Development that Impacts Community in the creation of innovative products from post-consumer textile waste through SG&R, such as automotive cotton shoddy, and high-and-low-value forms of biochar, which would use cotton shoddy dust and shredded textile waste as the feedstock. As part of this, the new products will be branded in such a way as to raise awareness of the social and environmental issues surrounding the purchase and disposal of fast-fashion; and 4) establishing a Social Enterprise that would sell and market the products developed from post-consumer textile waste through SG&R in order to support the sorting and grading platform and the sustainable employment and economic development opportunities it offers for the newly trained SMEs.

这项研究提案有四个目标：1）通过为新移民和人们为正常劳动力市场上苦苦挣扎的新移民提供新的高价值工作，通过在常规劳动力市场中挣扎，通过合法和道德的就业平台来培养新移民的新高价值工作，通过合法和道德的就业平台进行培训的主题专家（SMES），以分类和评分后的Fast-Fastess flastsskotss，这些工作是在其他方面进行培训。与依赖于工作条件差和廉价劳动的新的“绿色恢复”行业相反，我们的意图是一个可持续的计划，具有社会经济的重点，可以建立自尊心，提供尊重并为无法从这些情况中受益的人提供经济生活； 2) designing a Textile Diversion Strategy for Societal Benefit which would take the form of an innovative post-consumer waste sorting, grading, and re-purposing (SG&R) methodology, with supporting technology, aimed at both the diversion of Western society's waste from domestic and global landfill, and the dumping of such waste in third-world countries such as the East African Countries (EAC), a practice detrimental to their indigenous economy, health,环境以及目前的全球交易状况； 3）结合了有意的设计和产品开发，这些设计和产品开发影响社区创建创新产品，从消费者纺织品浪费到SG＆R，例如汽车棉花shoddy，以及高低价值的生物炭形式，这些形式将使用棉花shoddy shoddy shoddy dust和shredded纺织品浪费。为此，新产品的烙印将以提高人们对购买和处置快时尚的社会和环境问题的认识的方式进行烙印； 4）建立一个社会企业，该企业将通过SG＆R出售和销售从消费后纺织品废物开发的产品，以支持分类和分级平台以及它为新训练的中小型企业提供的可持续就业和经济发展机会。
