....and I contributed to a panel last week for the launch of the Institute for Positive Fashion (British Fashion Council)'s report on Circular Fashion Ecosystem;
A lot of work has gone into this, with the ambition that this is now a global roadmap for everyone along the entire garment lifecycle, irrelevant how active or engaged you are with the industry.
The three target outcomes;
reduce amount of new clothing produced (less)
extend life and utilisation of clothing when in-use (better)
design for end-of-first-life value/repair etc (regenerate)
Then have 10 action areas, weighted depending on you position in lifecycle, which detail recommendations (total of 30) within those areas.
The full report is engaging and worth looking over. It pins down lots of topics we've discussed at work, but lacked expertise to really understand or even articulate clearly. As such we'll be using as a framework and guide from here on.
I'm optimistic because a) it sets out clear common goals/directions/language b) it's being received globally by other fashion councils as a roadmap c) will connect with Gvmt policy changes (hopefully!) d) which also align with other big movements (WRAP, UN SDC's for 2030).
