The textile industry is at a crossroads, facing increasing scrutiny due to its environmental impact and fast fashion's disposable culture. In response to these challenges, the concept of product lifetime extension has emerged as a pivotal strategy for reshaping the industry. It's a shift away from the conventional 'take, make, dispose' model towards a more sustainable approach that emphasizes longevity, durability, and circularity in textile products. With a focus on reducing waste, conserving resources, and minimizing carbon footprints, the textile sector is now exploring innovative ways to extend the lifecycle of clothing and fabrics.

This webinar on "Product Lifetime Extension Strategies in the Textile Sector" delves into the heart of this transformative movement, shedding light on the critical steps needed to drive change and create a more sustainable future for fashion and textiles. The panelist discussion included:

Adriana Tubino and Itiana Pasetti -Revoada
