CoaR ep 10: Why do new & secondhand clothes smell?

from Confessions of a Refashionista · host Refashionista Sheri

Why the heck do so many people continue to think that the laundered clothing donated to thrift and charity shops is somehow dirtier and less hygienic that a “new” garment that has travelled through many different factories, hands and machines worldwide without being washed even once?  I’ve been thrifting for decades and, thanks to my world-living adventures, have visited secondhand shops in several different countries. Although each shop was full of unique items they all shared that wonderfully distinct “thrift shop smell” – an aroma I find absolutely delightful compared to the chemical reek of department and retail stores. Have a listen and find out just what causes that recognizable secondhand smell + the harmful chemicals lurking in those brand new garments too!

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
