Closing the Loop – The exciting challenge to develop circular winter apparel

Company: Alexa Dehmel

Date: Tuesday, November 24

Time: 10:00 AM EDT

Despite the well-aired public mantra of ‘reduce, re-use, recycle’, it’s estimated that the fashion industry creates around 13 kilograms of fashion waste for every person on the planet every year. That waste is equivalent to a landmass larger than the size of France. To combat this, the industry must adopt a ‘circular economy’ approach: rethinking and redesigning the way products are made, used and disposed of.

Join Alexa Dehmel, Design Expert and Principal, Active Sports Design, virtually, for an inspirational presentation on using Biodegradable materials, Circular Polyester and Circular Nylon in the design of more circular winter apparel.
