Ep. 103: Roadmap to a circular future

October 15, 2024 • World Textile Information Network

Australia’s clothing product stewardship scheme Seamless is on a mission to transform the way people choose, enjoy and recycle clothing in Australia. It has been operational since 1 July 2024, launching to drive the textile industry towards circularity and sustainable practices.

Seamless addresses the critical problems facing the clothing industry, with over 200,000 tonnes of waste ending up in Australian landfill annually. With the pooled investments raised from member contributions, the priorities for the next twelve months are clear.

In episode 103 of WTiN’s Textile Innovation Podcast, we speak to general manager industry transformation, Danielle Kent, about the [PREVIEW ENDS] organisation’s priorities for the next 12 months to drive the Australian clothing industry towards circularity by 2030.

We speak about how Seamless was created by a consortium led by the Australian Fashion Council and the benefits of a stewardship led approach to addressing the challenges of textiles and fashion. If you would like to learn more, please visit seamlessaustralia.com.
