The Fashion Show
Explore how fashion can thrive by designing a circular economy for clothes
The Circular Economy Show is a fortnightly discussion and debate around how we can move from a linear take-make-waste economy towards a circular economy. In each episode, our hosts are joined by inspiring businesses, policymakers, academics, and designers to discuss how circular economy solutions are being scaled, at speed, to tackle global challenges and benefit business, society, and the environment.
About this episode
It is a unique moment for the circular economy in North America. The region is emerging from the disruption caused by the pandemic, policymakers across the US, Canada, and Mexico have marked climate change & the environment as a priority, and business leadership on the circular economy in the region is at an all-time high. In this episode, we will share stories on how the circular economy is emerging in the region, celebrate progress made, and explore where we go from here.
This episode is an Accelerator Session at the World Circular Economy Forum 2021 (www.WCEF2021.com)
