Fashion’s future: How collaboration is shaping a circular economy

This week, Tanya Richard sits down with Danielle Holly, executive lead for North America at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, to discuss the vital role of circularity in transforming the fashion industry. Recorded live at the Sustainable Apparel and Textiles Conference in New York, they explore how brands can collaborate to shift mindsets and drive systemic change toward a circular economy. They also dive into the Fashion Remodel project, an ambitious partnership with leading brands including the likes of H&M, Coach, and eBay, aimed at revolutionising how clothes are made, used, and reused.

Plus: Nearly 200 organisations urge EU policymakers not to weaken sustainability rules; rising temperatures could sharply reduce global crop yields, according to new research; and the US Senate moves to dismantle the Inflation Reduction Act, in the news digest.

Also: A look ahead to the Critical Minerals Conference this November, with Tim van Pelt from ING on financing sustainable battery value chains.
