Let’s close off the work week with circular inspiration♻️ 1 Mark your calendars for the Circular Textile Days—we'll be there on September 18th! As the Netherlands' biggest circular fashion event, CTD brings together industry leaders and innovators to showcase and implement sustainable solutions. This year’s theme is all about action—because after years of discussion and discovery, it's time to put these solutions into practice. That’s exactly what Manufy is all about—turning circularity into reality. Let’s connect in Den Bosch and take the next step together. 2 The Netherlands now has a free fashion store aiming to make secondhand clothing trendy and shift our views on waste. “What’s trash to one person can be a treasure to another.” The store is stocked with preloved fashion and accepts on-site donations. While we see circular fashion as a great business, we applaud the bold approach of THIS IS FREE FASHION. 3 Dutch spinning company Spinning Jenny has discovered a new technique that allows companies to incorporate their own textile waste back into their products. It’s exciting to see local initiatives developing novel methods to address sustainability challenges and create new opportunities in the industry. #manubites #circularitynews #sustainablefashion

Cradle-to-cradle (C2C) should be the end game for any designer committed to building a sustainable business.♻️ The sustainable design philosophy was developed by architect William McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart in 2002. Their approach to sustainable fashion focuses on creating products with their entire lifecycle in mind, ensuring that materials can be continuously reused or safely returned to the environment. Unlike traditional linear models (cradle-to-grave), where products end up as waste, cradle-to-cradle aims for a circular process. In this system, products are designed to be disassembled and either recycled into new products or biodegraded without harming the environment. The goal is to create a closed-loop system where waste is minimized and materials retain their value indefinitely. At Manufy, we offer a range of circularity providers who can help you implement this innovative mindset into your business, supporting a transition to more sustainable practices.🌱💼 #manufy #sustainablebusiness #circularity

Circularity news from the industry! 🌿👗 1) Circ continues collaborating with Zara, creating another collection with their patented, silky Lyocell made partly from textile waste fibers. Although the mass-scale Zara approach isn't ideal, it's exciting to see circular innovators team up with major brands to advance these investments. 2) The RealReal's 2024 Luxury Resale Report reveals a shift toward grassroots sustainability in fashion. Consumers are prioritizing eco-friendly practices and valuing pre-owned luxury items for their lower environmental impact. The report also notes a rising interest in high-end, vintage pieces as status symbols, blending sustainability with luxury in fashion. 3) No April Fools: SHEIN has filed a lawsuit against Temu in the U.S. District Court, accusing the company of counterfeiting, trade secret theft, and IP infringement. SHEIN claims that Temu stole data on bestsellers, directed sellers to copy its designs, misused its trademark and images, and created fake social media accounts to deceive customers.

💥Manufy Hits the Front Page💥 Despite years of efforts to drive improvements, progress in sustainable fashion remained limited. That’s why ASN Bank, one of the largest Dutch banks, has decided to divest significantly from the clothing industry. The news created a media storm. Our founder, Nout Knabben, wrote a nuanced and honest response, urging the industry to take action. “ASN and other impact funds should continue investing not only in innovations but also in bridging the gap between these innovations and clothing brands, as we do with Manufy. This approach could help major companies like H&M and Zara, along with the 700,000 clothing brands active in Europe, transition to a cleaner clothing industry through knowledge sharing.” Read the full article on Fashion United 📖 https://lnkd.in/eryu99Ng #fashioninvestments #manufy #financefashion #climatechange #circulartransition
