FA.C.T Fashion, Circularity, Technology - The Road to Fashion Circularity: Extended Producer Responsibility and Digital Product Passports.

The future of fashion is circular—how can your business adapt?

With fashion producing 2-8% of global carbon emissions and 92 million tons of textile waste ending up in landfills each year, the industry must transform. But where do we start? 

To successfully transition from fashion's current system of "take-make-waste", circularity must become a foundational principle.

This event brings together leaders in sustainability, technology, and policy to explore two key approaches at the forefront of industry's transition to a circular future:

✅ Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) – a policy approach that makes brands responsible for their products along the entire lifecycle, including post-consumer waste;
✅ Digital Product Passports (DPPs) – a technology designed to collect and share data about a product and its supply chain across the entire value chain. 

What You’ll Learn

• What EPR and DPPs mean for Australian brands and consumers;
• The latest updates on Seamless Australia’s Clothing Stewardship Scheme;
