Responsible brands and companies are starting to rethink their own consumption philosophies, introducing methods of #design and #production to help promote a more #circularfashion #economy.

Companies that act now to secure a supply of alternative, low-carbon raw materials will be able to capture an average 6% profit uplift after five years.
