Programme Elevating the Consumer-Citizen Role

Elevating the Consumer-Citizen Role

Round The Room

In a year of global elections, democracies can empower and enable citizen-level action towards circular economies on a massive scale
But how is the fashion sector understanding the role of the consumer within the sustainable transition so far?
From new retail models through to an ever-increasing level of knowledge and discernment in pop-culture, what actions are making an impact?

Next Level Barrier: Discrepancy between civil society and industry roles confuse the pathway towards a net positive fashion sector by displacing responsibilities

Programme The Preferred Fibre Face-Off

The Preferred Fibre Face-Off

Round The Room

Over the next decade, fashion must push on scaling million of tons of next-gen materials to overcome a pluriverse of materials-based challenges
Given the timelines, how can fashion collectively progress beyond comparisons of the merits between fibres?
Less trade-off, more transition: from change management to de-risking mechanisms, what specific investments are needed from fashion now and what are the most recent learnings from the recycled fibre landscape?
What are the most recent learnings from current developments the recycled fibre landscape?

Next Level Barrier: Industry-wide debates on preferred fibre categories (eg Cotton Vs Polyester) are slowing down action on materials-based challenges (eg water, chemical and microfibre release).
Solution Unlock: Fathom future scenarios to valorise todays material mix and nurture advanced innovations that phase-out of fossil-fuel derived, virgin materials.
