👕 Becoming the custodians of the lifecycle of our clothes could be the key to sustainable fashion consumption. 🔑 At the RCA’s Materials Science Research Centre, researchers have developed a set of resources to help fashion professionals engage consumers in the #CircularEconomy. One of these is the Circular Experience Toolkit - taking a positive approach to help consumers understand the lifecycle of their clothing and open up pathways to truly #CircularFashion. This week at the #WorldDesignCongress2025, hosted by the Design Council on behalf of the World Design Organization, Dr Sharon Baurley will present a range of these tools, developed as part of the UKRI Interdisciplinary Textiles Circularity Centre. ⬇️ Learn how the Circular Experience Toolkit works ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e2x-KgFy
