✨ Still feeling energized and inspired after attending last week’s #GlobalFashionSummit in Copenhagen, together with my Quantis colleague Sandra Gonza!   I had great conversations with brands and innovators on the role of circularity in fashion sustainability, as well as the challenges and opportunities to scale more sustainable innovations.   💡 𝐌𝐲 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 “𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥”: The Fashion industry has made progress, but doing “less bad” is simply not good enough for businesses to operate within planetary boundaries. It is time for companies to  1) set higher AMBITIONS , 2) strengthen and collaborate with INNOVATIONS, and  3) take ACTION. Fashion brands need to double down their efforts and move beyond pilot phase with innovations - you can read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/eKjXzYSZ   Also a big thank you to the TrusTrace team for the engaging lunch, where they launched their latest Playbook “𝘜𝘯𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘗𝘗: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘩𝘺, 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵 𝘗𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘴”. #GlobalFashionAgenda #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #FashionIndustry #SustainableInnovation

A WORLD WITHOUT ADVERTISEMENT? It's no secret that consumption is reaching terrifying levels. For now, it's business as usual. But what about in 10 years? Because of a depressing lack of #visions, we put together 12 sustainability scenarios and asked over 1000 Swedes to what extent they found the scenarios possible and desirable. We also asked them to express their thoughts on each one. This led to some very interesting results. Today, you can read more about the scenario deemed the least likely by Swedes: a world without ads. Stay tuned during the coming weeks for the other #scenarios. On the 26th of June, we at Kairos Future will release the full report together with Science Park Borås, Textile & Fashion 2030 and Circular Hub (Sweden). Let's start talking about #futures. #sustainability #foresight #advertisement #circulareconomy

🌟 Let's reimagine progress! 🌍💡The @ellenmacarthurfoundation explore the idea of redesigning our economy: creating products meant to be easily recycled and shifting to renewable energy sources. Can the fashion industry draw inspiration from these principles to create a more sustainable future through creativity and innovation? 👗🌿💚🌱 #RethinkingProgress #SustainableFashion

Sustainability is a marathon, not a sprint. While there's demand for innovative sustainable materials has increased but demand to implement is lagging. Follow that with lagging infrastructure to process downstream and slowing consumer demand for pretty much everything, it's going to be a while. Even with persistent headwinds in 2024 innovators like Renewcell must win in the end. #sustainability #sustainable #fashion #renewcell #circularity

Fashion shouldn’t cost the earth. So, why does it? 🤔 Approximately “87% of all clothes made in any given year will end up in incinerators or landfills.” But it’s not just what we buy that’s the problem. Or how often. According to Simran Mohnani, MEng AMIChemE, our Sustainability & Climate Innovation Manager, post-consumer processes, such as how clothes are recycled, have a vital part to play too 🛍️ So, what can we all do about this? And where are the opportunities to scale? Read our latest #StartToScale feature on fashion waste here: https://deloi.tt/3VljsKJ

What is a #SustainabilityReport? A Sustainability Report is a report that serves as a transparent window into a company’s commitment to environmental, social, and economic #responsibility. Against the tide of fast fashion, a Sustainability Report becomes a crucial tool for accountability. Embracing sustainable practices not just to make a fashion statement, but as proof of a dedication to reducing the overall impact on the planet regarding -but not limited to- carbon footprint, waste, and fair labour conditions. A Sustainability Report empower buyers to make informed choices by providing detailed information on eco-friendly materials, #ethicalsourcing, and waste reduction strategies. A Sustainability Report is a company’s showcase of its results in terms of sustainable processes and practices, that should inspire others to follow suit, driving the industry towards a more eco-conscious and socially responsible path. A Sustainability Report is not just a document: it's a roadmap to a more sustainable and responsible future for the fashion industry. That’s why Maglificio ITES S.p.A. is working to share with you its first one, coming soon. #sustainability #knitwear #privatelabel

"Sustainability It's complicated". I'm grateful to be part of a company that is moving to be more transparent and honest about what is in each and every product. Sometimes the information isn't as positive as you expect, but it empowers consumers to make the decision for themselves by providing the raw data in a clear and concise manner. Interested in more?

Since the launch of our website together with BY FAR in early December, we've seen hundreds of items circulate through the sample sale platform, translating into significant savings in terms of carbon emissions, water, and waste. Opting for pre-loved fashion from the BY FAR x NOLD collection actively contributes to lessening our environmental impact. 🌱 Methodical sample sales play a crucial role in addressing the issue of overproduction and unsold inventory. This commitment leads to a waste-averse fashion ecosystem, redirecting resources toward a future where each garment's life is extended. Sample sales become a proactive repurposing strategy, turning potential waste into wearable treasures and establishing a robust platform for fashion's value regeneration. BY FAR x NOLD is not just a partnership—it's a step towards greener, more conscious, circular fashion. 💚 https://byfar.thenold.com/
