Talk: Changing the Industry

Moving into solutions mode, this day addresses how the fashion/textile industry can be steered toward sustainability through policy, certification standards, and innovative business models. It builds on the prior discussions (the problems and ethics) and asks: what concrete mechanisms are in place, or need to be created, to change industry practices at scale? We will explore the role of government legislation, international standards (like those from Textile Exchange or others), and how companies can implement new models that prioritize sustainability and regeneration.
