According to a recent article from Vogue Business, suppliers in the Global South are still being left out of key sustainability conversations in fashion — and it’s holding the industry back. The Transformers Foundation report, Collective Action Reimagined, sheds light on how suppliers face significant barriers to participation in sustainability initiatives, including limited resources, logistical challenges, and even cultural biases. These challenges often leave them excluded from decision-making processes that shape the industry's future. "𝙏𝙤 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙧 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞-𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨 (𝙈𝙎𝙄𝙨) 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙞𝙣."

As seen in Bloomberg by Clara Hernanz Lizarraga Without more investment, demand for sustainable raw materials could exceed supply by 133 million tons by 2030, according to a report by consultancies Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Quantis and Textile Exchange. Separate research published by McKinsey & Company last month found that two-thirds of fashion brands won’t be able to meet their sustainability targets unless they accelerate emissions reduction, and 40% have seen their emissions increase since making climate commitments. The study sampled 30 brands with combined revenues of more than $300 billion in 2022. Richard Wielechowski at Planet Tracker wonders who will foot the roughly $400 billion bill for building out this new industry. “Realistically, if you ask the brands how it’s going to happen, they’re expecting someone else to do all the work for them, and then just be able to pick it up,” he says. “And that’s what Renewcell shows: It’s just not happening in the market.” #circularity #fashion #textiles #nextgen

🌟 Top 5 Textile Industry Trends for 2025 🌟 As we step into 2025, the textile industry is witnessing transformative trends that are shaping its future. Here are the top five trends to watch: Product Durability: Consumers are increasingly demanding textiles that stand the test of time. Innovations in fiber technology and advanced manufacturing processes are enhancing the durability of products, ensuring they last longer and reduce waste. Digital Product Passport: Transparency and traceability are becoming crucial. Digital product passports provide detailed information about the lifecycle of a textile product, from raw material sourcing to end-of-life disposal, promoting accountability and informed consumer choices. Recyclability: The push towards a circular economy is stronger than ever. Companies are focusing on designing textiles that can be easily recycled, reducing the environmental impact and conserving resources. Repairability: Embracing the ethos of “repair, don’t replace,” the industry is promoting repairable textiles. This trend not only extends the life of products but also empowers consumers to take part in sustainable practices. Chemical Compliance: With growing awareness of the harmful effects of certain chemicals, the industry is moving towards stricter chemical compliance. Innovations in eco-friendly dyes and finishes are ensuring that textiles are safe for both consumers and the environment. Regulatory drivers such as the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the EU Waste Directive, the Green Claims Directive, and the New York Fashion Act are playing a pivotal role in steering these trends. These regulations are pushing the industry towards greater sustainability, transparency, and accountability. However, these regulations also present potential challenges: Compliance Costs: High costs for companies, especially SMEs, struggling with financial burdens. Complexity of Implementation: Detailed requirements necessitate significant changes in production processes and supply chain management. Verification and Monitoring: Rigorous and resource-intensive verification and monitoring processes. Market Adaptation: Rapid regulatory changes disrupt market dynamics, requiring quick adaptation of strategies and operations. Having worked in the textile industry for several years, I’ve seen firsthand how these trends are revolutionizing our approach to sustainability and innovation. It’s inspiring to witness the collective effort towards creating a more responsible and eco-friendly industry. 🌍✨ What trends do you think will have the biggest impact on the textile industry in 2025?
