Seminars 2023

With the rise of the conscious consumer over the past decade, brands and retailers are going the extra mile to strengthen their ethical practices and help educate their customers about how they are tackling the industry wide challenges. Brands must strike a balance between providing good quality products within the customers price bracket, whilst at the same time reassuring their consumers about topics including – who is making the products they are buying, what processes they have in place to ensure that product is of the best quality and what they are doing to tackle their environmental impact. Being known as a company who is willing to play their part, acknowledge the impact and address the issues can lead to: 

• Multi-brand project collaboration
• Increase in customer loyalty 
• Improved brand reputation

SATCoL, the trading arm of The Salvation Army and the largest charity owned textiles collector in the UK, is actively working to support organisations to reduce their carbon footprint and combat climate change. Through their nationwide reuse and repurposing schemes, they lessen the impact on overflowing landfill sites by extending the useful life of products and reducing waste. This session will look at different ways in which donations are used, including:

• Corporate donations – excess, and end of life, garments
• Fibresort technology - recycling back into a circular textiles supply chain
• Take back scheme and partnerships
