February's key word to us is COLLABORATION!
Attending Neonyt last month truly taught us the power of collaboration. The benefits of joining forces to achieve real improvements in the fashion sector and putting resources together to make sustainability more accessible, attractive and profitable. We believe that cooperation will be essential to achieve genuine sustainability in fashion. So here's some news in the sustainable fashion field that recently caught our eye!

The governments of?Bangladesh,?Indonesia,?Pakistan?and?Vietnam?are supporting the Reducing Uses and Releases of Chemicals of Concern in the Textile Sector initiative,phased in over five years, that will tackle chemical pollution in textile production.
Created by the United Nations Environmental Programm (UNEP) with funding and support from the Global Environment Facility , The Basel and Stockholm Conventions Regional Centre for Southeast Asia and The Natural Resources Defence Council, the initiative will provide technical support and tools for small and medium-sized enterprises and manufacturers to improve their knowledge and management of hazardous substances, guide them to manage risks to workers and—eventually—eradicate the worst chemical offenders from their operations.

Fashion for Good is also expanding their?Sorting for Circularity?initiative to America. The 18-month initiative, which the Amsterdam-based sustainable innovation platform announced Tuesday, seeks to take the most “representative snapshot” of?textile waste?composition generated in the United States and, in so doing, establish the business case for textile-to-textile recycling?in the country.
