✨ TOMRA x The Conduit presents A New Textile Revolution   The textile industry is at a critical juncture, with a growing movement towards sustainability that contrasts sharply with the enduring appeal of fast fashion. As consumers increasingly embrace second-hand and high-end pre-loved fashion, the industry faces a stark challenge: its circularity rate is a mere 1%, highlighting an urgent need for transformation.   In response, TOMRA and The Conduit are spearheading an initiative to drive this change, hosting a pivotal event that aims to chart the course from linear to circular textile practices. This gathering will unite thought leaders and innovators, including Cyndi Rhoades, Jenny Skavlan, Simen Mørdre, Vibeke Siljan Krohn, and Silje Lambrechts. They will share their thought-provoking insights and strategies for fostering a more sustainable industry.   🤝 Who: TOMRA and The Conduit Oslo’s members and invited network 📆 When: March 12th, 15.00 to 18.00 📍 Where: The Forum at The Conduit Oslo 🖱 Register Here: : https://lnkd.in/dqTxNFi9 (registration is essential). This event is not merely a forum for discussion but a beacon for action, emphasizing the role of each stakeholder in the industry's shift towards circularity. As we approach pivotal moments like Norway's 2025 elections, the imperative for integrating sustainability into broader dialogues becomes increasingly apparent. The collaboration between TOMRA and The Conduit underscores our shared dedication to pioneering solutions for the textile industry's most pressing issues. We are excited about the synergy this collaboration brings and eagerly anticipate your participation in this transformative journey. Together, let's champion a sustainable future by making a tangible impact. We can't wait to see you there! #circulatextiles #textilerecylcing #TOMRAtextiles Dilek Ayhan, Lars Undrum Enge, Karoline Solberg Kjønniksen, Henriette Lund, Reynir Indahl

Exploring the Future of Sustainable Fashion: The Fashion industry is one of the most polluting and most natural resources consuming industry. It faces ecological and social challenges as well as regulatory constraints. Some of key opportunities for transformation to become more sustainable: 💡 Rethinking Supply Chains: Implementing more resilient and shorter supply chains. 🐝 Natural Capital Integration: Considering biodiversity impacts to minimize ecological footprints. 🤝 Collaborative Value Chain Initiatives: Engaging the full supplier ecosystem, integrating sustainability principles into operations, and collaborating with customers to refine product specifications for more sustainable criteria. 🚚 Sustainable Logistics and Transport: Implementing green logistics and transport practices to achieve significant CO2 emission reductions and surface savings. ♻ Circular and Regenerative Business Models: Embracing circular and regenerative practices to contribute to a more sustainable and resilient industry.  Let's work together to address the full scale of sustainable transformation and drive impactful change.

Fashion has the power to inspire, excite, and express our identities and cultures. Yet despite the industry’s potential to lead the global discourse in sustainability, it faces challenges as a result of its rapacious growth. 🍃🏞️ 🌱Lenzing Group is driven by a profound mission – to bring the beauty of nature into textiles while leaving no waste behind.

#circulareconomy #leavenoonebehind The Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute is leading the way towards a sustainable future. Their vision of a circular economy, where safe materials and products are designed, manufactured, and reused, is a game-changer for businesses wanting to reaffirm their environmental awareness, business acumen and social responsibility. By adopting the principles of the Circular Economy, businesses have an opportunity to optimise their materials whilst giving their products an increased level of credibility in the eyes of their customers. This means that #innovation and #disruption don't always require new inventions, but rather new ways of producing and consuming the things we already have and love. The companies featured in this book are representative of varying industries, yet united in celebrating their commitment to doing things differently to ensure a #sustainablefuture for ALL! This means that YOU also have the power to incorporate sustainability approaches in your daily business. YOU can also participate in the Circular Economy by simply (re)thinking your production processes to future-proof your business. Napapijri, a VF Company L'Oréal Henry Rose TRIGEMA W.

Sustainability efforts are much like an iceberg. While the visible tip may be seen by external stakeholders, it represents only a small fraction of the work involved. Beneath the surface lies a vast foundation of dedication, resources, and initiatives that are crucial but often unseen. Just as an iceberg’s strength comes from its hidden mass, sustainability success depends on the substantial and often invisible efforts of the internal teams. That's why a sustainability report is such a valuable source of information. It highlights the efforts that are normally out of sight but are essential. It has been inspiring to work on this hidden mass with the internal teams at Mayerline Brussels, CKS Fashion and JBC; from a very strong commitment to accelerate the investment in more sustainable materials to strengthening the strong relationship with suppliers; with a continued effort to support communities locally but also far away and the first try-outs on circular fashion in a very transparent way. And this thanks to the very dedicated internal teams in all departments Claes Retail Group to "Pass it On". #Sustainabiss #SustainabilityReporting #PassItOn

Read about our approach to a Sustainable Fashionable Future!!

Sustainability and fashion. We'll say it up front, it’s not an easy match. The general guideline in all things sustainability comes down to ‘produce and consume less’. According to the popular “30WearsChallenge” you should wear every piece of clothing at least 30 times. Yet at Mayerline we believe that is just a start. For more than 65 years we design clothes to be worn for years while keeping their allure and quality. However wear and tear is only one thread in the giant sustainability patchwork that is at the core of how we conduct our business. Today we are 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗜𝘁 𝗢𝗻-𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 and in creating a thriving business based on principles that ensure an ever more sustainable approach. It is by no means a finished masterpiece. Our latest Pass It On-report 2023 is a step in opening up about an ongoing process of improvement and care for all involved.

I am SUPER PLEASED to announce that I will be speaking at the Global Fashion Summit: Copenhagen Edition 2024 in 3 days, which takes place on 21-23 May! Presented by @globalfashionagenda, Global Fashion Summit stands as the leading international forum for sustainability in the fashion industry, where this year we will dive into the ‘Unlocking the Next Level’ editorial theme. 🌍 . Very excited to be on an awesome panel of 'Unpacking policy in sustainability: Principles of Ecodesign'. I can't wait to approach this from a scientific and systems based lens to help enable a more circular and humane mindset for ecodesign and re-engineering textile processes for 'more good'! 🌲 📚 . With deadlines for pledges made over the previous 15 years looming, the industry must now implement further actions that ambitiously address societal and environmental impacts and challenge the existing paradigm. The age of concepts and commitments is over – it is time to see near-term goals be implemented. 💪 . When: 21-23 May 2024 Where: Copenhagen Concert Hall Secure your ticket here: https://bit.ly/3PdWnX9 . #globalfashionagenda #globalfashionsummit #unlockingthenextlevel #copenhagen #sustainability #climatechange #circulareconomy #ecodesign -

We believe the issue lies not in sustainability's importance, but in how it's communicated and understood. Amidst competing priorities, sustainability advocates have struggled to articulate a compelling message. Too often, it's portrayed as a distant concern rather than an urgent imperative. In reality, sustainable practices are crucial for mitigating risks, driving innovation, and protecting reputation. They're a source of competitive advantage, not just a "nice to have." Sustainability is not just about "doing good" - it's essential for long-term viability across industries. 🌿 #circularfashion #fashionindustry Vogue #voguebusiness #sustainablefashion
