Webinar "Circular Economy: new developments in Apparel and Textile"

Event agenda

From aspiration to operation

What are viable, operational possibilities between marginal reduction of waste and full business model transformation?

 
TOPIC
For all the right reasons, there is a lot of momentum about the circular economy: potential benefits are sustainability improvements, reduction of supply and price change risk, lowering the cost of products, and new business models altogether.

While it’s easy to agree with its principles of a regenerative and restorative economy, it’s harder to put things into practice. For existing or larger companies, transitioning to a circular economy model can be costly and feel impractical, as the infrastructure for returning products for reuse is lacking and different materials within a product can be difficult to separate.

SPEAKER
Presented by Makersite’s CE expert Gerrard Fisher, this webinar considers why CE must focus on customers first to develop a genuinely more profitable and more circular business.
We will discuss benefits and potential challenges for business using examples from the apparel and textile industry.
