The fashion industry, along with its supply chain, is a major contributor to pollution and carbon emissions — projected to consume over 26% of the world's carbon budget by 2050 if current trends persist. There is a pressing need to amplify its sustainability efforts and integrate regenerative technologies that can close demand-supply gaps, streamline supply chain management and transform the textile industry. ♻️ This read dives into everything you need to know: https://lnkd.in/gGPYzCmV Cynthia Hutchison | Stephanie Wright | Shree Parikh #USManufacturing #Innovation #Manufacturing #FashionIndustry #Sustainability #TextileIndustry #RegenerativeTextile

🌱 Exciting News! 🌱 EU policymakers have recently decided to introduce a direct ban on the destruction of unused textiles and footwear. This move signifies a pivotal shift towards a circular economy and underscores the importance of finding innovative solutions to tackle textile waste. At BioFashionTech, we're thrilled to see this commitment to environmental responsibility! 💡 The growth of online shopping, flexible return practices, changed consumer preferences, and fast-fashion business strategies have resulted in increased shares of returned and unsold textiles. Textile product destruction, where products are destroyed before use, epitomizes the inefficiency of current linear production-consumption systems. 🌍 At BioFashionTech, we offer a solution. Our cutting-edge biotechnological process transforms textile waste into valuable raw materials like mixed plastics and bio-molecules. By collaborating with us, companies can avoid the costs associated with disposing of unused textiles while contributing to a more circular economy. As the EU moves towards a more sustainable future, we invite companies to join us in revolutionizing the fashion and textile industry.

 #Kingwhale #Sustainability #FashionIndustry #TextileInnovation #InternationalBrands 🌍 Reflecting on 2023: Strides in Sustainability in the Textile and Fashion Industry 🌿 According to the United Nations survey, 2023 witnessed progress in global sustainable development goals, although at a measured pace. Encouragingly, a survey by First Insight reveals that two-thirds of global consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable products, sparking transformations in the textile, fashion, and retail sectors.   In the context of sustainable development, the textile and fashion industries are reshaping their business models, emphasizing a balanced approach across social, environmental, and economic aspects. Brands and companies are integrating sustainability principles, reducing environmental impact, and ensuring social responsibility within their supply chains. Notably, brands are actively adopting eco-friendly materials, fostering innovation, and driving transformative changes throughout the fashion industry. Rising consumer demand for traceability and transparency has prompted businesses to pragmatically address ecological and social issues.   As a vertically integrated textile manufacturer and comprehensive solutions provider, Kingwhale competes and innovates within its industry. We develop a variety of environmentally friendly and circular textile products, covering raw materials, yarns, fabrics, garments, green energy, process optimization, fair labor standards, and support for local community development. This showcases our commitment to innovation and sustainability, embodying our dedication to corporate social responsibility.   In summary, the progress made by the textile and fashion industries in 2023 is inspiring. Sustainability has become a central theme in various industry events. Looking ahead to 2024, Kingwhale not only anticipates industry transformations but also remains committed to our past dedication to sustainability. We aim to allocate more resources to develop products that are environmentally friendly and align with societal expectations. We look forward to further breakthroughs and advancements in technology and thinking. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year in 2024, as we collaboratively strive towards a greener future.🎉🌿

Did you know that - Customer loyalty increases significantly when fashion brands offer reselling opportunities?  - Fungi serve as nature’s clean-up crew by efficiently breaking down organic matter and synthetic polymers? - It’s possible to trace back, with just one unique solution, a retail garment across the supply chain to its raw material? These were some of the ideas unveiled to a select group of investors at the The GoodFashion Institute Investors’ Luncheon. The presenting ventures, from the world of sustainable fashion, were: Reflaunt creators of a one-stop fashion resale solution that leverages brand-powered circular models to ignite growth in the fashion industry Rheiazymes a venture whose proprietary technology will enable closed loop recycling by breaking down materials back into their main raw components Haelixa Ltd specialists in product traceability using DNA markers, offering transparency on the authenticity of a product along the supply chain The meet also featured the investor perspective provided by Collateral Good, a climate-first and technology-focused venture capital platform. As highlighted by the The GoodFashion Institute, with measures like the EU's Supply Chain Act (CSDD) and the Digital Product Passport (DPP) on the anvil, the regulatory framework is progressing to put sustainability front and center. A big thank you to our speakers Stephanie Crespin, Sandra Grimmer, Roland Grimmer, Gediminas Mikutis, Michael Kleindl, Susanne Otto-Bomio and Punleuk Kam. Change is indeed in the making! Get active and join the The GoodFashion Institute to make fashion more good - for the environment, for people. #impactinvesting, #esginvesting #sustainabletextile #sustainablefashion #csdd

I'm excited to share the Tracing Textile Waste Project! 🎉 Why is this important? At present, a significant bottleneck in progressing towards scaling recycled textiles is the lack of transparency regarding the origins of textile feedstock. Our goal is to develop an open-source data template that streamlines the collection and exchange of textile waste data, from origin to recycler. Improving the visibility of reclaimed material inputs will enable brands to report more effectively on the recycled content used in their products (e.g. textile-to-textile feedstock). This will facilitate compliance with the #ESPR eco-design requirements, the upcoming #DPP, reporting obligations under the #CS3D, and the eco-modulation criteria in the Waste Framework Directive. A key objective of this project is to deliver recommendations to Textile Exchange for the development of new and existing standards, including #GRS and #RCS. I look forward to continuing this work with Jyotsna Gopinath, Sophie van Kol, Evonne Tan, Vidhesh Kadam, Emily Crumley and Lea Michalczik, and our Project Partners, including Adidas, Target, BESTSELLER, Norrøna, and Levi Strauss & Co., Reverse Resources, Recover, and USHA YARNS LIMITED. https://lnkd.in/ediTzBWh
