Next in the POC Chapter series is Fashion, offering an inside look at the first mover fashion companies leading the way and the innovations and technologies that are driving the circular transformation of the industry.

Other than the food and drink industry, fashion and apparel is said to be the sector that the consumer is the most attuned and conscious of when it comes to sustainability.

It is demanding greater transparency, greater accountability, and greater impact management. And for this we need some imaginative innovation and some very smart tech.
