What will I learn? The seminar will look at sustainability in an often overlooked part of the industry – textiles. It will start with a review of where textiles fit within the industry and then jump in with both feet to the inherent conflicts between client demands, suppliers and sustainability.

Your host will then take a slightly less controversial review of the terminology surrounding sustainable textiles before assessing the current state of play and the challenges of making sustainability sustainable. Finally, the session will discuss the thorny issue of the economics of sustainability and who should bear the cost before finishing with a few key points and a positive message for the future.
