📹 In the following video, Enric Carrera Gallissà, Director of INTEXTER UPC, reflects on the main takeaways from the 7th Mediterranean Textile Forum, held in November in the framework of #MedaWeek23. 🎯 This forum delved into the keys to develop the textile sector into a more competitive, value-added, sustainable and knowledge-based industry. Textile recycling to address problems related to textile waste and declining natural resources, a more adequate regulation and institutional support or an increased consumer commitment to durability and life cycle of clothing are some of the main keys to face sustainability challenge in the fashion industry. #sustainablefashion #circulareconomy #sustainability #textileindustry #clothingindustry #fashion #ESG #Mediterranean #GreenEconomy #BlueEconomy #Cooperation #Investment #ClimateChange #WomenEntrepreneur  #Barcelona

✨ TOMRA x The Conduit presents A New Textile Revolution   The textile industry is at a critical juncture, with a growing movement towards sustainability that contrasts sharply with the enduring appeal of fast fashion. As consumers increasingly embrace second-hand and high-end pre-loved fashion, the industry faces a stark challenge: its circularity rate is a mere 1%, highlighting an urgent need for transformation.   In response, TOMRA and The Conduit are spearheading an initiative to drive this change, hosting a pivotal event that aims to chart the course from linear to circular textile practices. This gathering will unite thought leaders and innovators, including Cyndi Rhoades, Jenny Skavlan, Simen Mørdre, Vibeke Siljan Krohn, and Silje Lambrechts. They will share their thought-provoking insights and strategies for fostering a more sustainable industry.   🤝 Who: TOMRA and The Conduit Oslo’s members and invited network 📆 When: March 12th, 15.00 to 18.00 📍 Where: The Forum at The Conduit Oslo 🖱 Register Here: : https://lnkd.in/dqTxNFi9 (registration is essential). This event is not merely a forum for discussion but a beacon for action, emphasizing the role of each stakeholder in the industry's shift towards circularity. As we approach pivotal moments like Norway's 2025 elections, the imperative for integrating sustainability into broader dialogues becomes increasingly apparent. The collaboration between TOMRA and The Conduit underscores our shared dedication to pioneering solutions for the textile industry's most pressing issues. We are excited about the synergy this collaboration brings and eagerly anticipate your participation in this transformative journey. Together, let's champion a sustainable future by making a tangible impact. We can't wait to see you there! #circulatextiles #textilerecylcing #TOMRAtextiles Dilek Ayhan, Lars Undrum Enge, Karoline Solberg Kjønniksen, Henriette Lund, Reynir Indahl

Over-consumption and waste are the biggest challenges currently facing the apparel industry, according to Gordon Seabury, CEO of Toad&Co, a company that creates socially and environmentally committed clothing. Seabury also emphasised that these challenges can be addressed through more circular options and consumer education.

As part of Drapers Sustainable Fashion Week, we hear how high street retailer New Look hit its sustainability targets last year.

Let's talk about sustainability in the fashion industry 🛍 Did you know that over 1.4 billion new items of clothing are manufactured and imported into Australia every year? Most of it is made from non-sustainable, non-durable materials, and 200,000 tonnes of the stuff ends up in landfill annually 😱 That's why we're such big fans of moves towards sustainability like Seamless | Australia's Clothing Stewardship Scheme 😍 Looking to transform how clothing is made, used, and circulated, the Australian Fashion Council (AFC) scheme aims for clothing circularity by 2030. These goals really resonate with the sustainability underpinning of the ecoPortal platform 🌏 🌱 We look forward to watching Seamless's journey, especially with Ainsley Simpson at the helm as the inaugural CEO from early March this year 👏 #Sustainability #HealthAndSafety

Perhaps we all heaved a collective sigh of relief when the European Union unveiled its new circular and exemplary textile strategy last year. Its main aim is to curb greenwashing, while enabling the production of fashion products that are European, local and regional, and affordable for consumers. Sustainability does not even need to be mentioned, as it is an integral part of every element of the process. While learning about the strategic transformation of the textile industry, we thought of organising a meetup (or series of meetups) focused on designers and interested professionals, where we would first get to know the broad outlines of the strategy, and assess what we know about it all and what are the most important questions to be clarified. Our aim is not to go through this process separately, but to work together to make the transformation of the country more effective, to keep us all competitive and creative. In the first part of the meeting, Dr. Lívia Kokasné Dr. Palicska, President of the Hungarian Association of the Light Industry, will give a presentation on the most important changes. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to get to know each other, to talk and to focus on an important topic in the form of a brainstorming workshop. Key topics (headings and further elaboration together): Transparency in the production chain, sustainability communication, textile recycling and waste management, domestic textile and fashion enterprises, circular strategy. #pinkponilo #budapest #textilemeetup #sustainability #ecofriendly #sustainablefashion #community
