This is a great example of how the fashion industry can move forward with accurate impact measures and transparency across the value chain. It really reflects the ethos of our @IMPACTnetwork23 #traceability #accountability #SustainableFuture

🧥🔬Very successful first event for the @IMPACTnetwork23 project organised @KingsCollegeLon last week, where we demonstrated how easily textile fibres can be lost by garments and reach the environment! Thank you everyone for having participated! ukft.org/innovation/impact-n…
