Fast fashion’s cycle of overproduction and overconsumption is fuelling a growing global textile waste challenge. But what happens to our clothes when they leave the wardrobe—and what needs to change? Join global experts from Kenya, the UK, and Australia to uncover where unwanted textiles end up, explore solutions that are working on the ground, and rethink how we produce, consume, reuse and recover clothing for a more circular future.
Cheap clothes aren’t cheap. The planet is paying.
Overproduction is flooding the market with garments no one needs, and the cost lands in landfills, informal markets and recycling systems that struggle to cope.
Join me on 23 November for a candid panel on where unwanted textiles end up, what’s working on the ground, and what has to change in how we design, produce and recover clothing.
