C&A Foundation: €1.5m on offer for circular economy ideas
20/12/2017
It hopes it can discover new ways of thinking that will result in better use of materials and support better working conditions.
“Whilst there are many publications on circular business models and commitments to circular economy, few brands/retailers or upstream suppliers are redesigning their business towards circularity,” it said.
“The global apparel sector is becoming more open to circular economy on a technical level (ie chemical recycling), as well as on a business model level. The latter is especially important, as it implies a shift from ownership to use, so that materials and apparel are provided as a service, not a product to be rapidly discarded. These new business models are fundamental for the systemic change of the sector.”
C&A Foundation has a budget of €1.5m for the project and proposals must be submitted by February 18, 2018.
