Summer edition of Texworld USA to welcome Fashionsustain

Now is the perfect time for buyers, consumers, and industry leaders to shift the paradigm when it comes to being environmentally friendly. This summer’s spotlight on sustainability comes with an understanding that fashion’s impact on global carbon emissions, water, and chemical pollution is substantial.

“We’re very excited to have Fashionsustain as a part of this year’s show. Sustainability isn’t just a buzz word any more. It’s a real issue that consumers are looking for answers to and companies need to adapt. We’re honoured to host the platform that will harness and educate our attendees on patterns of consumption and use, how to move forward, and adopt better practices” said Jennifer Bacon, show director of Texworld USA / Apparel Sourcing USA in a media statement by Texworld USA.

In a brief speech, Liz Hershfield, head of product development, production & sustainability digital consumer brand incubation at Walmart eCommerce, will share her insights on what’s to come of sustainable practices in fashion and apparel.

There will be a discussion on ‘Transparency and Traceability: Challenges Facing Major Brands’ which will highlight the challenges and opportunities apparel and accessories brands have on managing their supply chains.

A panel of experts will dive in and discuss circularity, the efforts to reduce GHG emissions, processing textiles, and will share insights on the positive steps to be made to improve the environmental profile.

Texworld USA is one of the largest sourcing event on the East Coast for apparel fabric buyers, research and product development specialists, designers, merchandisers and overseas sourcing professionals. (PC)
