About the event

Our event will provide a unique online, interactive platform, spread out over a 4-day period, to guide global apparel and textiles brands, suppliers, legislators, NGOs, academics and other stakeholders on how to combat this growing problem.

Programme

Through cross-discipline presentations, discussions, Q&A and action planning we will focus on three key areas:

1. Measurement: integrity and policy

2. Science: textile research and environmental impact

3. Product development: innovation, technology and manufacture

Purchasing a ticket will also grant access to three pre-event webinars during December, January and February, which will initiate conversations around these three topics.

Delegates will have the opportunity to;

• Interact, engage and network around the three topic areas
