The second edition of the Australian Circular Fashion will focus on introducing a national clothing take-back scheme that would avoid severe disruption to the fashion industry caused by mandatory regulations. The potential country-wide clothing and textile take-back scheme in Australia will be launched in three phases.
The two-day event, will be held from March 21-22, 2019 in Melbourne and attract speakers from around the world to give the event a distinctly international flavor. The conference will provide a new opportunity to tackle the issue of fashion and textile waste head on, with input and support from leading international and Australian brands by the likes of Mara Hoffman, Eileen Fisher, Filippa K, Australia Post and Kathmandu.
The take-back plan will not be the only topic of discussion at the event. Day one also features conversation on CSR values, best practise and end-of-life repossessing. Day two has a ‘hackathon’ challenge, which involves teams being tasked to innovate significant challenges within the circular supply chain.
