1. Make Fashion Materials for the Circular Economy
Discover what circular fashion is and learn how safe materials will unlock its highest potential.
Material Innovators
Positive materials improve everything they're folded into. But an innovative material isn’t necessarily one that's safe from a chemical standpoint nor one with the potential to cycle. The tools below will help material innovators learn about, connect with and advance the creation of materials for circular fashion.
Pathway to Circular Fashion for Innovators
2. Answer the Call to Innovation
Learn about the industry's urgent material needs and tell us what you can make.
3. Understand Material Health
Chemicals make the materials that make our clothing. Is this chemistry safe? The question requires an exploration into material health.
4. Understand Material Reutilization
Safe materials need to be designed to cycle. Having a material reutilization strategy frees you from the linear economy where most fashion ends up as waste.
5. Screen your Material for Known Hazards
Innovative materials aren't necessarily safe materials primed for the circular economy. Screen the chemicals in your material to understand the difference and take positive action.
