Manage episode 394610140 series 2365261
The fashion industry has finally come to the realization that it needs to adopt circular practices, and that’s a great start… But now what? Circularity implementation—or what could be considered Phase 2—is much more difficult. It requires having the visibility, traceability and verification tools to analyze your carbon footprint, then mindfully rework R&D in response.
Here, Dr. Min Zhu, Ph.D., Technical Director of U.S. & Canada Softlines of inspection and certification company SGS talks with Lauren Parker, Director of SJ and FMG Studios about what circular fashion really is, where to start, and how to proceed to next phase.
Watch the fireside chat to learn:
· What a circular fashion system really is and how it has been evolving.
· Ways in which fashion companies should consider in material selection to embrace circularity.
· Why companies must embrace a lifecycle assessment (LCA).
· How SGS combined testing with supply chain verification to determine and verify the percentage of recycled polyester.
· What the EU’s impending Digital Product Passports will mean for companies and how they can prepare for them
