The fashion system today is designed and capitalized based on a linear take-make-disposal approach: a 100 percent consumption model based on “units sold”.
Digitization has successfully disrupted other industries, transforming them from consuming physical products (units sold), to circular models - utilizing products (times used), such as Uber for the automotive industry, Spotify for the music industry, Airbnb for the hospitality industry, and many more.
Digitization is the key to make fashion circular, enabling traceability, transparency: A more sustainable ecosystem for both businesses and the planet.
Each week, CFS podcast will share insights from leaders of change in Design, Technology, and Sustainability who are accelerating the global transition to a digitized circular fashion system.
In this episode recorded at the recent CFS roundtable, powered by textile manufacturer ISKO, industry experts discussed denim digitization and circularity. The conversation tackled how Web3 plays a key role in scaling the digitized and connected circular fashion industry, with a focus on sustainability, technology and collaboration to ignite immediate collective action.
The conversation was moderated by Adriana Galijasevic, Founder & CEO of Cocircular Lab, with industry leaders discussing the many ways they’re pushing for an ever-more sustainable future for denim production and digitization. Joining the panel talk, speakers included Caterina Tonda, RTW Sustainable Development Manager at Kering Material Innovation Lab; Walden Lam, Co-Founder at Unspun; Ebru Ozcucuk Guler, Head of Sustainability at ISKO; and Stefano Rosso, Founder at D-Cave.
