Fiber forward: Scaling sustainable materials innovation in textiles
Fibers are the foundation of countless products—and a major lever for materials transformation in the garment industry, household items manufacturing, and more. As the textiles industry faces growing pressure to mitigate waste, decarbonize, and reduce resource intensity and environmental impact, forward-thinking brands and innovators are reimagining how fibers are grown, created, sourced, manufactured, and recirculated. This session will explore the next frontier of sustainable fiber innovation, from the role of regenerative agriculture to textile-to-textile recycling and novel bio-based inputs. Join leaders driving scalable solutions across the textiles value chain and beyond as they share strategies for accelerating adoption, navigating trade-offs, and building the partnerships needed to shift the system fiber by fiber.
Learning Outcomes:
- Explore cutting-edge advancements in low-impact and circular fiber solutions across sectors.
- Learn how companies are overcoming barriers to scale—from infrastructure and cost to consumer perception.
- Understand how cross-industry collaboration is unlocking innovation and impact across the fiber value chain.
