- Speakers
The fashion industry accounts for 10% of annual global carbon emissions, is responsible for an estimated 20% of industrial wastewater pollution worldwide, and 85% of all textiles go to the dump each year.
The industry's huge environmental footprint requires a systemic rethink on production and consumption patterns, while promoting the use of recycled and regenerated materials. What are the pathways to transform fashion to “design out” waste?
