In the podcast, Rana makes the case for fostering creativity in the downturn. It’s important to understand your specification, measures, partners, and audiences to uncover your own story.

DIGITAL EVENT

Textiles and apparel companies face uncertain times

Circular apparel consumption, product traceability, and Scope 3 emissions reduction were hot topics at COP27 in Egypt this year. Debbie Shakespeare, senior director, sustainability, compliance & core product line management at Avery Dennison joined a high-profile panel discussing ‘Best Practices from Sustainable Textiles & Apparel’. Debbie’s key message: “Digital ID technology will play a vital role in closing the circularity loop regarding recycling. Once you have a digital label on a garment, firstly you can tell the consumer where they can get the item recycled in the right way, and secondly, it helps the recycler know what the fibre content is and they can expect out of it.” Watch the full session recording below.

Brands need DPPs to comply with incoming traceability legislation. Consumers who care about the planet want material composition and ethical supply chain data to inform their purchase decisions.
