Responsibility or wearing fashion? – The ecological footprint of our closet.

Worldwide, the fashion and textile industry is the second largest polluter. Surpassed only by the heavy oil industry, it is responsible for more than 10% of global CO2 emissions and generates over 42 million tons of plastic waste every year. A major lever in the fight against climate change can be found in our closets at home: our fashion.
The lecture “Fashion and sustainability” addresses the ecological and social facets of textile production and supply chains, shows alternative approaches and explains the influence of digital technologies, including the digital SANOGE fashion configurator, in order to align economic structures in the textile and fashion industry in a more forward-looking way.
