Event Information

The concept of Circular Economy (CE) has been gaining momentum across industries, especially the fashion industry. But what is the CE and how can it be applied to the fashion industry? From biodegradable fashion, infinitely recyclable materials, to clothes dyed without any water - is any of this really possible? We're curious too! That's why we've put together a series of lightning talks by experts, experimenters, and enablers to understand the circularity ecosystem in the fashion industry. Come join us for the fifth edition of SUSSout filled with insightful conversations and chance to meet others working or interested in this space.
