February 25, 2025 • World Textile Information Network

In this special podcast series, we speak to the winners of the WTiN Innovate Textile Awards 2024.

In this episode Clare Woodford, vice president, sustainability and impact at Alpine Creations discusses the company’s Changemaker Award win.

Fighting period poverty with their Dignity Kits, Alpine’s creating is rooted in sustainability and social impact. By adopting a circular model that repurposes cutting floor scraps and involving local communities in sewing and production, Alpine Creations is dedicated to environmental and social governance (ESG).

Woodford tells WTiN why this is initiative and innovation is essential to tackling both social injustice and the global problem of textile waste. She discusses the impact that Dignity Kits are having in rural Africa and how the initiative can be scaled. For more information, please visit alpinecreations.com.
