The fibre value chain has many stakeholders with varied interests and degrees of influence. Designing sustainability can be challenging when not all stakeholders are aligned.
This symposium bridges the gap between researchers, manufacturers, brands, designers, recyclers and consumers. We all know that fabric and textile waste is a problem, and we’ll need to work together to challenge the conventional pathways.
