Fashion & Textiles
Sustainability is a rising challenge in the textile industry with environmental, economic and social factors being considered, evaluated and implemented throughout the supply chain like never before. When it comes to innovation, a growing number of stakeholders is working on novel technologies to provide a more sustainable way of producing materials, to use new bio-based resources and offer more circular approaches for stakeholders in the fashion value chain. EFIB provides a platform to discuss those business challenges and opportunities.
