Sustainable Apparel & Textiles in the Circular Economy

Submitting your abstract or paper

This two-day symposium offers a forum for the exchange of knowledge and practice from different disciplines to create a new understanding of the challenges and idea generation for potential solutions that address the textile waste management conundrum, the broader sustainability issues that the fashion / clothing and textiles industries face or the wider implications of the circular economy.  By bringing together researchers and experts we aim to develop a new understanding of how industry practice may change to benefit global environments, people and creative economies.
