Sylvia Krampelj

Managing Director, Kidney Clothes

Sylvia Krampelj is a nonprofit executive with more than 20 years of experience in charitable clothing collection and textile diversion. She leads large-scale donation programs that keep millions of pounds of clothing out of landfill each year, working at the intersection of sustainability, community engagement, and charitable revenue generation.

Sylvia is passionate about demystifying what happens after donation. From collection and sorting to resale and global textile markets, she brings a transparent, systems-level perspective to the journey of donated goods. She believes that when people understand where their clothing goes — what can be reused, what gets recycled, and what truly reaches end-of-life — they feel more empowered to make informed, sustainable choices.

At ReMode, Sylvia will share a behind-the-scenes look at how clothing donation actually works and offer practical guidance to help citizens extend the life of their garments and reduce their fashion footprint.
