#WashingtonLawmakers are advancing the #sustainable fiber sector, but are these efforts keeping pace with industry demands? Last week, U.S. Congress members led by Rep. Chellie Pingree urged the USDA to increase support for farmers and ranchers producing sustainable fibers like cotton, hemp, wool, and alpaca. Their aim is to reduce reliance on synthetics and reshore part of the textile market, reflecting growing government focus on reshaping U.S. #textileproduction and reducing environmental impact. While these actions mirror trends in Europe, questions remain about their sufficiency. These laws will affect the entire #supplychain, requiring brands, suppliers, and manufacturers to collaborate with certified, reliable partners to meet sustainability and transparency standards across every stage—from production to shipping. At World Collective, we see this as a pivotal moment. It highlights the critical need for sustainable sourcing and trusted partnerships. Progress in this space demands collective action. 📰 Source: Sourcing Journal

WORLD COLLECTIVE reposted this
I read Bella Webb’s piece on a particular time in which we were preparing to launch WORLD COLLECTIVE Marketplace. As the article highlights, the journey of working with supply chain + high-end tech suppliers comes with its own challenges. Truth is, there are so many of us working independently on our companies that we often miss the opportunity to collaborate, which could be a tipping point for the industry if we came together. As I always say, to move forward, we must act collectively on a global scale. Here are some key takeaways on how to move forward in sustainability, innovation, and #newmaterials : 💡 Scaling Issues: Hannes Schoenegger from Bananatex® made a crucial point—technology is expensive, and the rules need to change. We encounter this daily in our work. 🤝 Partnerships Matter: Tina Lemke’s emphasis on long-term brand partnerships resonates with our mission. We’re not just about connections; we’re about lasting relationships. You can feel the difference here, right? 🚀 Bureaucracy vs. Innovation: Andre De Castro’s experience with brand bureaucracy slowing down innovation is all too familiar. But it’s also what motivates us to push harder. 🌍 Democratizing it asap: We need to make these innovations accessible, not just for the largest companies. Could crowd-funding more innovators in a bigger pool unlock potential for smaller, more agile businesses? It’s something worth considering. Our goal is clear: to overcome these obstacles and drive meaningful change. But it requires a balanced approach—investing in quality #technology without breaking the bank. Let’s keep pushing forward together. What do you think? How can we better support the innovators in sustainable fashion? Let’s discuss! https://lnkd.in/eakTEDZD
