As we all know fashion is part of everyday life but how can this very linear industry become more circular?
This on-line event is brought to you by the Liverpool City Region and Chamber Low Carbon Circular Economy Clubs and the Liverpool Fashion Summit. Our aim is to raise awareness of the principles of the circular economy by taking an in depth look at the textiles and fashion industries highlighting practical action.
We have an expert panel from academia, textiles and fashion sectors who will share their experiences of the challenges, opportunities and collaborations to be gained from moving from a linear extractive to a more circular model.
