The current global health crisis has disrupted the way we consume. The ‘buy-use-dispose’ model has placed our natural world under incredible strain, and our fashion industry has become increasingly unsustainable.

With a drop in consumer spending and retailers facing financial uncertainty, many are struggling to make ends meet. But while businesses consider cutting costs, the urgency for a more sustainable and circular industry has only grown more vital. How can we capitalise on the current crisis to accelerate the shift towards a sustainable fashion industry?

Presented by Circular Economy Victoria and Good Thing Australia, this panel will unpack the opportunities for retailers and consumers to build on circular practices in light of the pandemic.
