Where to Source Next-Gen Fabrics

Charlie Bradley Ross Wednesday, 1 November 2023

Next-generation solutions use waste materials to create low-carbon alternatives to virgin raw materials, such as tree fibre from Endangered Forests and synthetics made from non-renewable, polluting sources.

In this video, you'll learn:

  • The environmental benefits of next-gen textiles.
  • Where to source next-gen fibres - including producers with contact information.
