Textiles and clothing is an $1.3 trillion industry with more than 300 million employees across the value chain. It is an industry with huge environmental and social impacts.
Today less than 1% of material used to produce clothing is currently recycled into new clothing, representing a loss of more than $100 billion worth of materials each year, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
In 'One World, Zero Waste? The Circular Economy Explained', we explore opportunities and challenges to shift to more sustainable and circular approaches in how we produce and consume clothing with model, actor, author and activist Lily Cole, and Katia Vladimirova of the University of Geneva, together with UNECE experts.
