HKRITA Webinar – Hong Kong’s Innovative Solutions to Sustainability Challenges in Fashion Industry

The textile and fashion industries have made a sizeable impact on the environment along its diverse supply chains such as material production, garment manufacturing and waste disposal. This webinar will explore how innovations in sustainable production, renewable materials and waste management can support the industry to develop circular models and their application along the value chain, thus mitigating the environmental impact. The webinar will also introduce The Open Lab which is a collaborative space and a digital platform for research institutes, industry partners across the supply chain to come together to explore cross-industry collaborations.
