After takes care of your unwearable clothing, after you. We collect unwearable clothing and textile waste from households and businesses, recycle it, and on-sell it (e.g. textile fabric or insulation) all while reporting everything back to the customer for full transparency. Our vision is to empower all Australian consumers and businesses to ethically dispose of their textiles and create a circular economy. It's time to join the After party! You're invited!
Yesha, a fashion enthusiast and entrepreneur with a Master’s of Entrepreneurship, founded After to address the lack of transparent and convenient options for clothing disposal. By leveraging her passion for sustainable and circular fashion, she stopped buying new clothes and dedicated herself to disrupting textile waste disposal. As a woman of colour, she advocates for BIPOC professionals and founders, aiming to break the glass ceiling. After's achievements include winning awards at the Wade Institute of Entrepreneurship Showcase Pitch Night and being featured on the SAARI Collective's list of 101 South Asian Australian startup founders. Yesha has spoken on panels from the likes of EIANZ, Hult Prize, at the University of Melbourne and more!
