As global brands prepare for the EU’s pivot to a circular economy—driven by the EcoDesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and mandatory Digital Product Passports (DPPs)—the Global Circular Network is here to help brands navigate this transition.
Join us for an exclusive workshop where we introduce a full suite of smart tech tools and an open-source platform designed to create interconnected human-centred circular pathways for textile-based products.
Discover how to activate circular design strategies, boost ROI, and meet compliance reporting requirements using efficient DPP solutions. Our tools enable brands to connect products to circular businesses worldwide and help address the growing challenge of waste and emissions at scale.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
✔ Link designers, manufacturers, retailers, transport systems, and R-CYCLER businesses
✔ Integrate rental, resale, repair, redesign, remake, and recycling into circular business models
✔ Use bulk scanning to create cleaner recycling streams and sustainable supply chains
✔ Separate secure B2B cradle to cradle traceability (via RFiD THREADS®) from B2C engagement (via QR Codes and NFC)
✔ Combat greenwashing and strengthen trust with accurate, verifiable lifecycle data
CIRCULARITY IN ACTION. EVENT HIGHLIGHT:
Follow the circular journey of two everyday products—denim jeans and yoga pants.
Alison Jose and Alice Paisley-Carruthers will demonstrate how a digitally connected circular economy can reduce downstream emissions and pollution while unlocking new levels of visibility on upstream resource circulation. By capturing unprecedented data on product repairability, usability, longevity, and ultimate circularity, we can help shape AI-driven strategies for future circular design.
