Last week, our director Traci Kinden joined a roundtable on performance and sustainability in sportswear at Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris. A few points stayed with us:
Sustainability claims need numbers behind them. Without data, they're just words — and the industry knows it.
Incremental progress is underrated. Quietly reducing the chemistry and energy in everyday production doesn't make headlines, but it adds up.
Volume is an elephant in the room. It's hard to talk about circularity while standing in three halls full of new product.
Thanks to Maxime Labat, Alice Potts, Alice Gras, Charles Ross, Daniel Hartung, Eric Yung, and Graham Stewart for a conversation that went well beyond the surface.
