Creating a circular economy for fashion | Rethink Sustainability

Waste in fashion is on a massive scale, and less than one percent of recycled textiles are converted into new, wearable materials. But very gradually, that may be changing.

An excellent video that seems to be a new style for the FT channel - much more content, which is what we want! A positive story that it tells, after so much negativity in so much of the media. So fashion is coming up with new ideas to catch up with the times and reduce waste, as well as reducing global transportation. A win-win outcome! More stories like this one please, to inspire the rest of us!
