What Renewcell’s bankruptcy says about next-gen fashion 💔 With backers including H&M Group and BNP Paribas and brand partners including Inditex, Levis’Store, and Ganni A/S in addition to H&M, Renewcell long seemed like the most promising company to bring so-called next-gen materials to scale first. Now, the company is filing for bankruptcy. What happened? Nicole Rawling, Co-Founder & CEO, Material Innovation Initiative - "That one company enters bankruptcy in a tough funding environment is not indicative of the future of the industry or the viability of any other company in the space." "What we should see this as is a wake-up call to the fashion industry: you need to support next-gen material companies and other start-ups working on sustainable innovation through funding, future procurement orders, advice on material development, and even letters of interest companies can send to investors."

Yesterday I got a call from a famous fast fashion brand. She learned that we could make Gore-Tex products through a friend. She is extremely interested in our Gore-Tex certification. She told me that her buyer had told her that it would be better to produce her style in China. I also communicated with another customer of mine yesterday who made low-cost products. In Europe, due to the economic downturn, purchasing power is low, and there is still no purchasing power market for low-priced products despite their low prices. On the contrary, some high-end brands, because the price is more favorable than the original, but sales increased. Whether you choose to continue to compete particularly hard in the low-price market or move into the high-end market and win over consumers with service, quality, and innovation, is a no-question choice.

🌀 Teefactory's Commitment to Fair Trade in the Garment Sector 🌀 The garment industry has long grappled with issues of supply chain fragmentation, labor rights violations, and inadequate worker protections. At Teefactory, we recognize these challenges and are dedicated to driving positive change within the sector. For decades, the industry has been marked by low wages and unsafe working conditions, among other injustices. However, we believe that a new approach centered around Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) is essential for addressing these systemic issues. At Teefactory we're increasingly dedicated to eco-friendly clothing, seeking official certifications like the Fair Wear Foundation. Let's work together for a better, fairer future in fashion.

Supply chains don’t exist in siloes and the ability to collaborate across sectors, commodities, regions and beyond will be critical to the success of programs focused on improving conditions within and around them. That’s why we expanded to serve sectors beyond apparel. Seeing Worldly and this week Cascale (formerly the Sustainable Apparel Coalition) do the same continues to point to the direction of travel for supply chain work: more collaboration, more interoperability, more initiatives focused on outcomes, rather than sectors. https://lnkd.in/eRrMaJzZ
