  The fashion industry must become more sustainable. If the products of today are to become the raw materials of tomorrow, a circular approach is needed. Small companies in particular need support with this. With the help of the Migros Pioneer Fund, the project Circular Clothing is paving the way for small Swiss textile labels to become circular. The project uses a case study to show how a small label can employ circularity in line with the standards set by the Cradle to Cradle® concept. The process is assisted transparently and refined to form a toolbox. United in a network, small fashion labels will also have the opportunity to leverage synergies, e.g. in purchasing. Show less
