The Trilogy of materials !
It's been now 1 year and a half that Refashion is offering "Eco-design meetings", free workshops, open to all its members.
This beginning of 2022, Refashion organized for the first time a series of workshops which took place over 3 months (january/february/march), on the subject of materials to eco-design the textile products :
10 different structures, each with 2 participants from their product teams, had the opportunity to take part in these three workshops. The first two mornings were digitally, and the third day of this trilogy took place at the MAXIMUM site in Ivry-sur-Seine.
Summary of the “Trilogy of materials”:
3 workshops, over 3 months
10 structures, 20 participants
2 digital mornings, 1 day on site
3 feedbacks from external speakers1
3 inputs of expertise by Refashion2
3 working sessions in pairs (diagnosis, objective, action plan)
2 collaborative work sessions (commitment of suppliers and employees)
1 visit of a workshop with 1 presentation of a project to recycle used textiles3
These workshops has enabled the participants to leave with a real action plan to build their material strategy in a life cycle way of thinking.
