Countless clothing items are produced every single day, and when they get worn out or destroyed, they simply pile up in landfills. Cynthia Power is raising awareness about circular economy to address this alarming problem, maximize the lifespan of products, and greatly minimize waste. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, she brings her knowledge as a circular programs expert to discuss how the fashion industry can ditch the Make-Use-Dispose Model and focus more on the sustainable repair economy. She explores how current technologies are being employed to level up resale programs and recycling processes. Cynthia also shares practical tips on how to be mindful of your consumption and start your own sustainable clothing.
