In 2020, Fashion Positive released the first-ever Circular Materials Guidelines for the apparel, footwear and textile industry. The document defines just what constitutes circular fibers and offers recommendations for design to apply them toward fostering a truly circular fashion.

Fashion Positive developed the Circular Materials Guidelines in open collaboration with key industry players. Where does the industry stand now? Are there best practices to address chemical safety, cleaner water, and renewable energy? What are the options for funding innovation for circularity at scale?

Ksapa teams up with Sasha Radovich (executive director at Fashion Positive and a Ksapa affiliate) to discuss best practices and concrete use cases for circular fashion. We will also be welcoming the expert perspectives of Karla Mora (Alante Capital) and Satumaija Mäki (Finnish Textile and Fashion) to consider our recommandations fpr cross-industry decision-making, bold goal-setting and progress-tracking.
