Sustainable Fashion and Circular Economy Pod
2021, dates are confirmed with schools individually upon request.
The #Copenhagen Fashion Summit #CFS has been heavily criticized by the sustainable fashion community for failing to put the spotlight on the plight of garment workers who are reeling under the worsening impact of lockdowns and #COVID19.

The pod looks at a solution and metrics-driven action plan that can support, effectively and profitably, the creative implementation of the circular economy. It will look at the innovation in recycled plastic fabrics and the potential for circular economy partnerships therein.
