With the Circular Economy Fashion & Textile Circle, Impact Hub Zürich wants to support the creation and curation of a network to raise awareness on the problems of our textile industries, to show new innovative approaches, opportunities, and sharing valuable knowledge within the topic. There are 3 workstreams focussing on hand-on-problem-solving in the aereas of:
Textile Recycling
Knowledge Exchange
Consumer Involvement
This event is part of the 1rst Workstream, focussing on creating more recycling power for smaller brands.
Collaboration can take many forms. The more we collaborate, the more impact we can have. Here are some examples of collaboration, this list is not exhaustive.
Brands can join forces to get more visibility and have more impact together on waste reduction (recycling, upcycling): make a collaboration & work together, create an event together etc…
To join forces when meeting with a supplier: sometimes the quantities for a small brand are low and do not allow the brand to make an agreement with a supplier.
To share their knowledge: new material, supplier names? Etc… (Example: where to find the best supplier of recycled boxes in Switzerland, or the best supplier for recycling /upcycling leather).
Everyone who wants to learn or contribute is invited to join the workshops. Please also join our linkedin group “Fashion & Textiles Circle Switzerland”
