Lauren Junestrand Leal, Innovation and Sustainability Network Manager at UK Fashion and Textile Association (UKFT), joined our host Jade McSorley for an informative and fascinating conversation about fashion and textile waste on Clean Cut TV's first podcast series. This series explores tech and innovation in the fashion industry with the aim to educate our listeners about how the future of fashion is shaping up.
UKFT is the largest British fashion and textiles network committed to delivering sustainable growth for the entire UK fashion and textile supply chain. They are at the forefront of large-scale innovation projects, tackling some of the industry’s biggest challenges. The association attracts research investment, provides practical guidance to help members meet their sustainability goals, and help companies prepare for changes in future legislation with regards to sustainability.
Alongside working at UKFT Lauren is a PhD candidate at the University of the Arts London evaluating secondhand clothing consumption from textiles to supply chains and consumer behaviour. Lauren and Jade talk about how education and innovation go hand in hand, and for the fashion industry to continue making sustainable strides, industry professionals need to keep learning - with sustainable processes and circular business models still being a relatively new concept.
This episode will provide in-depth knowledge about proactive, government- backed innovation taking place, leaving listeners feeling hopeful and intrigued!
