Identity Crisis: The First Step in Solving for Textile Circularity

Each year, 100 billion garments are produced, overwhelming the planet with millions of tons of waste. Modern day textiles are incredibly diverse, made of complex blends and embellished designs which pose significant challenges for reuse and recycling. In this keynote, Amelia explores the root of the issue: identifying what garments are made of and how they’re constructed. By solving this “identity crisis” through innovation and collaboration, we can unlock circular solutions and pave the way for a sustainable future in the apparel, fashion, and textile space.
