The entire textiles value chain must work together to confront the consumption patterns that are the driver of harmful impacts, using tools such as circular business models and circular design. This shift is needed – not only to confront the drivers of the adverse impacts of textiles but to also highlight the solutions in terms of circular design and circular business models, bringing together everyone to walk the same path.
This session will examine:
- Individual and collective actions stakeholders can take
- Taking stock of progress towards circularity and ambition levels
- Global coordination mechanisms and other frameworks needed to achieve ambition
