EUROPEAN SDG ROUNDTABLE - The Future of Sustainable Fashion

We are addressing the following SDGs:

SPEAKERS

The fashion industry currently produces 20% of global wastewater and 10% of global carbon emissions. Improvements can be made for example localizing fashion, using more on-demand digital printing (it can save up to 4kg of CO2 per item) and digital textile printers (they reduce water use by up to 90% and energy use by up to 30%). Increasing the use of sustainable materials is vital and extending the lifecycle of use would make a serious difference.

There is a new generation of designers that are much more focused on sustainability, ethical production, and local sourcing. At the same time, consumers are becoming far more discerning and aware of the pitfalls of fast fashion, demanding more sustainable clothing and textile solutions.

This roundtable will bring together designers, producers, retailers, and customers in a thorough discussion on how to make each stage of the fashion production more sustainable, building circularity and longevity into the lifecycle of fashion.


 JOIN THIS EUROPEAN SDG ROUNDTABLE TO:

  • Learn more about sustainable fashion.

  • Discover how to make each stage of the fashion production more sustainable.

  • Explore a more sustainable future for textile printing.


WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

  • Companies operating in the fashion industry.

  • Industry representatives from all stages of fashion design, production, distribution, and retail.

  • Consumer lobbying groups.

  • NGOs and public sector organisations (water, energy suppliers).
