Online: Microsoft Teams Webinar

Building on learnings from research and practical application, this new toolkit explores how the principles of circularity can be translated into a circular model helping charity retailers unlock greater value from clothing while extending garment life.

The toolkit responds to the UK’s evolving circular economy and textile policy landscape and explores the important role charity retail plays in the transition to a more circular textiles system.
