INSIVIA
WASTE 360
CIRCULAR FASHION
From this week’s In the Loop: co-founders, CEO Ashley Etling and CTO Chantal Emmanuel join Insivia on their 18th episode of the Tech Founder Show, while waste management and fashion weave more circular stories.
Co-founders, Etling and Emmanuel discuss all things LimeLoop – its origin, its mission, its culture, its challenges, and its future as a pioneer of sustainable shipping by way of its reusable packaging and data-driven logistics.
More importantly, though, is the discussion of collaboration and collectivity as circularity and sustainability continue to collect momentum.
WASTE 360
How Manufacturers and Waste Management Companies Can Achieve a Circular Economy
“Through the efficient design of materials, types of products created and new attitudes towards business models, we can create a circular economy which allows for a restorative and regenerative life cycle of materials.”
Gordon outlines the ways in which manufacturers and waste management can achieve more circular practices, aligning with global sustainability initiatives. This includes developing nonexistent standards, influencing behavioral change, and shifting investments.
CIRCULAR FASHION
Fashion’s Role in Collective Circularity
You can learn a lot about a society by way of its fashion. However, society, now, sits at a crossroads.
Connecting the dots isn’t difficult. The current supply chain, the linear “take-make-dispose” system, depends on outsourced labor and manufacturing, especially in fashion, because it’s cheaper and less regulated, and it allows for mass production, meeting consumer demand yet destroying the planet.
Fashion’s role in collective circularity, is then, two-fold. Both brands and consumers must take responsibility.
