Description

What if your clothes could help fight climate change? 

Think: Business Futures explores how Australia is leading the charge to decarbonise the fashion and textile industry. From circular supply chains and rental models to designing garments for reuse and repair, we look at how research, design, and industry collaboration are reshaping the future of fashion.

We are joined by three experts working at the intersection of research, design, and industry - Dr Maruf Hossan Chowdhury, Associate Professor at UTS; Seamless CEO Ainsley Simpson; and Timo Rissanen, fashion and textiles researcher and academic lead at the UTS/TAFE NSW Centre of Excellence.

Find out why decarbonising fashion is urgent, how rental and circular models reduce environmental impact, and how Australia’s first clothing stewardship scheme is helping brands and consumers shift toward circular fashion by 2030.
