CIRCULAZE Virtual Trend Tour: Fashion and Textile II

On April 17th we continued our virtual Trend Tour series with Fashion and Textile Part II. Three awesome start-ups from the CIRCULAZE short- and long-list 2022 shared their solutions with us

CIRCULAZE Virtual Trend Tour: Fashion and Textile II

Fast fashion waste is a major environmental and social issue that urgently needs to be addressed. The production of clothing is a resource-intensive process that contributes to climate change, water scarcity, and pollution. Currently, the fashion industry produces 10% of all global carbon emissions and is the second-largest consumer of the world's water supply.

Additionally, the disposal of clothing in landfills contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and creates a range of environmental and health problems. Only 15% of clothing is recycled or donated, while the rest is either incinerated or sent to landfills.

After the success of the first Fashion & Textile Trend Tour, we organized a Part II to see more solutions in moving towards a circular fashion industry. From the CIRCULAZE short- and long-list 2022, start-ups Keel Labs, Restorecs, and Circulix joined us to share their Circular Economy solutions in fashion & textile.
