🎉 ECHT is on LinkedIn ! 🎉 🔎 What is ECHT ? In November 2023, the project to Enable Digital Product Passports with Chemicals Traceability for a Circular Economy (ECHT) was officially launched with the support and funding of Interreg North-West Europe (NWE). ♻ #ECHT works towards to facilitate the transition to a climate-neutral, resource-efficient Circular Economy in line with the Green Deal by promoting the cross-border implementation of the Digital Product Passport (DPP). 👕 In the framework of the EU Textiles Strategy, which aims to reduce waste and improve recycling through the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and #DPP, ECHT addresses the challenge of tracking chemicals in complex supply chains. 👩💻 It supports micro and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the textile sector with traceability, enhancing their networks, innovation, and competitiveness. ECHT's first traceability strategy includes action plans for clothing and flooring value chains, along with training programs, with results shared on a knowledge platform to help #SMEs adopt new business models. #ESPR #CircularEconomy #Interreg Umweltbundesamt - German Environment Agency Hochschule Darmstadt Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) Luxinnovation GIE Luxembourg Media & Digital Design Centre (LMDDC) H&M Group Lacoste Pôle TEAM2 EURATEX - European Apparel and Textile Confederation ECRA - European Carpet and Rug Association PUMA Group Neovili Stichting Sympany

How can the path to a circular economy succeed? 🌱🔄 At ISPO Munich 2023, the sporting goods industry discussed sustainability and circularity and highlighted three key topics: Eco Design, effective communication and recycling. 🌿 Eco Design: From the use of mono-materials to the design of products that can be easily disassembled: The path towards a circular economy starts with rethinking design and material selection. VAUDE and Houdini Sportswear are pioneers of a sustainable future and presented their circular innovations at ISPO Munich 2023. 🗣️ Communication with retailers and consumers: Green claims should be substantiated. This not only enables consumers to make informed decisions, but is also necessary under the EU's renewed Green Claims Directive. ♻️ "Closing the Loop": If the circular economy is to succeed, recycling must work. However, it is challenging for brands and manufacturers to find the right recycled materials and partners. Therefore, the topic requires close cooperation between different industries and relies on the help of regulations and rules.

Retail Strategist | Crafting Technological Solutions Rooted in Customer-Centricity and Data Driven Insights
🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I'm thrilled to share that I've reached a significant milestone in my academic journey: I've successfully completed my thesis for my MFA in Luxury and Brand Management at Savannah College of Art and Design! In my thesis, I delved into the cutting-edge realm of sustainability in the fashion industry, harnessing the power of digital twin technology to revolutionize how we approach environmental, economic, and social sustainability. By synthesizing both secondary and primary research, I've developed a consumer and data-centric strategy that paves the way for a more sustainable future. The convergence of physical and digital landscapes presents vast, untapped potential for growth in the fashion industry. My thesis aims to unlock this potential by presenting an industry-specific theory that champions a circular economy and leverages technological advancements to minimize waste, optimize production processes, and deliver highly personalized experiences to consumers. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of my thesis committee, professors at SCAD, as well as my incredible friends and family who stood by me every step of the way. As I embark on the next chapter of my journey, I'm filled with gratitude and excitement for what lies ahead. Here's to bigger and better things! 🚀 #Sustainability #FashionTech #MFAGraduate #SCAD #LXMT #luxurybrandmanagement #thesisdefense Read more about my thesis here: https://lnkd.in/e94U6AGX

My friend Frank Menchaca, President of Sustainability at SAE International, invited me to participate as a panelist in a vibrant discussion at their flagship event. At this event, forward-thinking meets innovation at the intersection of automotive excellence and fashion evolution. I'm honored to join prominent voices from the automotive, textile innovation, and fashion sectors in a compelling conversation about "Sustainable Interiors-Circularity and New Approaches to Textiles in the Auto Industry." This dialogue is not just about the future of our industries but a reflection of the paradigm shifts happening in what has traditionally been a very left-brain environment. The focus? Circularity and cross-sector collaboration. We're on the brink of redefining sustainability in automotive interiors, pushing the boundaries of what's possible with innovative textiles and materials. This topic demands our creativity, ingenuity, and commitment to doing it sustainably. I look forward to sharing my thoughts with fellow panelists on navigating this shift and fostering an ecosystem where cross-disciplinary collaborations become the cornerstone of innovation.

The Vice President Marketing and President-elect of WPO World Packaging Organisation , Luciana Pellegrino , represented the Organisation in two important events in Europe: The ‘Sustainable Packaging Summit’ and the ‘Sustainability Awards’, both organized by Packaging Europe and hold in Amsterdam, on November 14 and 15. Luciana Pellegrino was also representing #WPO member, ABRE Associação Brasileira de Embalagem , where she is the General Manager. While The Sustainability Awards sets the tone for the latest trends on sustainable packaging and technology, the Summit has a very important role in putting together leaders and thinkers that can focus on the dilemmas and barriers on the pathway to the sustainable transformation. “It was a great honor to represent both ABRE Associação Brasileira de Embalagem and the Brazilian packaging industry, and WPO World Packaging Organisation in these two important occasions, joining Tim Sykes , Brand Director of Packaging Europe , in announcing the winners of this prestigious competition and participating in the closing panel of the Summit. Being here also allowed me to map the key topics driving discussion and efforts in packaging sustainability in Europe. And last but not least, having the opportunity to meet distinguish packaging professionals from different companies and bodies in person.” says Luciana. Internationally recognized for awarding edge sustainable packaging innovations, the Sustainability Awards attracted submissions from start-ups, global brands, academia and OEMs and from every region of the world. This year’s competition received a total of 325 valid submissions. The international, expert jury picked out 60 innovations and initiatives as finalists across 13 categories. This year’s edition of the Sustainability Awards accepted submissions from commercialized products, pre-commercialized innovations and broader initiatives in 13 categories. In addition, the judges selected an overall winner of the Sustainability Awards 2023, while the audience of Packaging Europe nominated the recipient of the annual Readers’ Award. #wpo #wpoaroundtheworld #packaging #packagingaroundtheworld #sustainabilityaward #sustainablepackagingsummit #packagingeurope

Just returned from the #PackagingWorX forum in Amsterdam, our team is energized with inspiration and insights. Here are our key takeaways: ✅ Collaboration is key: the sustainability puzzle in packaging can only be solved through partnerships that span industries and functions. It's a collective challenge that demands collective solutions. ✅ The power of face-2-face connections: indispensable in creating common successes. ✅ A gathering of packaging enthusiasts: all united by the ambition to positively change the world when it comes to packaging. ✅ No one-size-fits-all solution: we need to adopt an end-to-end mindset and consider all aspects of the supply spectrum to tackle the obstacles ahead. ✅ A multifaceted strategy: addressing the packaging sustainability challenge requires a multifaceted approach, considering design, materials, productions, consumption and disposal. Keen to explore creative, fully recyclable packaging solutions or share insights? We're eager to connect and kick-off collaborative projects. We'd love to hear from you. #fmcgindustry https://lnkd.in/df4bqafw Special thanks to Hoshang Zarang #GBR 🙏 #packaging #recyclability #letsconnect

CEO | Growth Catalyst | Entrepreneur | Open Innovation Leader | Road mapper | Strategist | AI transformer | Ironman | Talent Builder | Board Advisor
Thanks Asia Toy and Play Association (ATPA) for the opportunity to join as a Guest speaker a week ago. It was a pleasure to share insights on Sustainable Packaging trends and innovations, and how Industry Associations play a crucial role in driving the positive momentum forward. For close to a decade, I've been involved in sustainable packaging material developments. Both on individual corporate project & [global] strategy level, and on cross-industry association level. Great initiatives always start with an individual or a team aiming to make positive impact. The greatest initiatives bring people together to drive scalability, and by understanding what solutions look like for other parties involved, also drive better solutions for their own challenges faced. No single company is ever big enough to solve the worlds problems. No company alone understands the diverse needs fundamental technologies have to address. But we start where we can make an initial positive impact. What we have understood at Budding Innovation is that for foundational and long-term solutions to gain traction, they need to be set in specifications and properties, yet address macro and micro trends, that encompass the requirements of as many as possible future users. We cannot separate business interests from technology opportunities, so the solution exists always in a balance. Please reach out to me for a conversation of how I can support your sustainable development. DM me to set up some time to explore opportunities. #Sustainability #Strategy #Corporate #ESG #Industry #Associations #OpenInnovation #Packaging #Materials #Scalable #Transformative
