On this week’s episode of The BoF Podcast, Dame Ellen MacArthur explains how the fashion industry can move toward a waste-free future.
China is the world’s largest consumer of fashion and a major production hub. How it tackles its mountain of annual waste will impact global brands’ ability to embrace a more circular supply chain.
Brands missed roughly a third of the goals they set for themselves as part of an industry initiative that ended this year, reflecting the challenge that remains for the sector beyond ambitious sustainability targets.
As the world grapples with an unprecedented public health and economic crisis, exposing deep-rooted social inequality as a climate emergency looms, the fashion industry must learn to respect both people and the planet. It's time for fashion to build a more responsible business model.
As sustainability becomes more important to consumers, brands must invest in genuine root and branch reform, manage expectations, be humble and own up to their shortcomings to avoid backlash because consumers ultimately see through platitudes and gimmicky campaigns.
Last year, the beauty sector generated 142.6 billion units of packaging — most of which ended up in landfill.
When industry leaders have an unusually frank and anonymous conversation about sustainability, what does it reveal? Uncomfortable questions about class, control, hypocrisy and anxiety over jobs, to name a few.
A circular economy incentive to prohibit brands from discarding unsold clothing means luxury and high street retailers need to rethink their practices.
As business magnates, presidents and economists converged at the 2018 World Economic Forum to discuss the state of the global economy, what important takeaways are there for the fashion industry?
One of the world’s leading thinkers on the circular economy speaks to BoF about the growing momentum among fashion companies to commit to the principles of this restorative and regenerative movement.
As fashion's focus shifts to a circular economy, in 2018 sustainability will evolve from being a menu of fragmented initiatives to being an integral and defining part of the entire fashion value chain.
On stage at #BoFVOICES Dame Ellen MacArthur challenges the fashion industry, where less than 1 percent of garments are recycled, to work together to implement a circular economy. Watch now.
