News: Calling out consumption

At last week's Copenhagen Fashion Summit, an engaged audience listened to a range of speakers with a common theme; if fashion is to become more responsible then collaboration, innovation and education across the sector will be needed.

Speakers included Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Livia Firth (Eco-Age Ltd), Vanessa Friedman (New York Times), Kristian Jensen (Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hannah Jones (Nike), Anna Gedda (H&M) and Rick Ridgeway (Patagonia).

New business models are needed to address the current cycle of consumption and to create an industry which focuses on sustainable development rather than continual growth.

Here at Uniform Reuse, we believe that a Circular Economy is the best way to start.
