🌱🪴The Ascendence of the Circular Economy🌱🪴 The ascendence of the circular economy is gaining momentum worldwide! More and more businesses and industries are recognizing the importance of sustainability and adopting circular practices. Governments, organizations, and consumers are also becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of our current linear economy. The circular economy offers a promising solution by minimizing waste, promoting resource efficiency, and fostering a more sustainable future. It's exciting to see this shift towards a more circular mindset and the positive impact it can have on our planet!" 🌍♻️ For example, in the fashion industry, the circular economy is all about rethinking how we produce, consume, and dispose of clothing. Instead of the traditional linear model of "take-make-waste," the circular economy aims to create a closed-loop system. This means designing clothes that are made to last, using sustainable materials, and ensuring that they can be reused, repaired, or recycled at the end of their life cycle. By embracing circular practices, we can reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote a more sustainable and stylish fashion industry. It's a win-win for both fashion lovers and the planet! ♻️👗🌍 Jenai Golvala Rheanne Vakil Aisha agboatwala Dr. Aditi Mishal ATLAS SkillTech University #sustainability #circularfashion #circulareconomy #sustainablefashion #sustainable

Manufacturers matter. It was webinar week for the Ellie.Team. On Thursday, we hosted the 6th RegioGreenTex Community Talks and proudly presented the Lowlands Greentex Hub. We showcased the hub's role in enabling circular loops through cooperation between Flanders, East Netherlands and Hauts-de-France. Our Lowlands partner SMEs and regional representatives highlighted the different value chain projects and regional collaboration opportunities, and we were delighted to see many participants from different regions🌍🔄 Today we had the pleasure of discussing Ellie.Connect's role in circular textiles, demonstrated by the Circular Garment Demonstrator within the RGT project. One comment from the audience stood out: the perception that manufacturers have limited influence, with brands making the final decisions. Knowing the decision-making process first-hand, we are convinced that manufacturers may not have the final say, but they do play a crucial role. As a manufacturer, it is precisely with your expertise that you can guide and influence decisions and show customers their options. And while decisions don't change quickly, it is through ongoing efforts - informing, inspiring and connecting - that you can change mindsets and ultimately, perhaps, decisions. Every player in the value chain has a responsibility to strive for change, to persevere, always keeping the long-term vision in mind. 🌱 #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #GreenTextiles #EllieConnect #RGTProject #CommunityTalks #Innovation #Collaboration
