Lessons from different industries: Making circularity a genuine challenger to linear business models

Fishbowl
Back to agenda

Closed-loop circularity anchors many brand strategies, yet it is not yet a viable business case for most, and each brand’s products and price points shape what is possible. Other industries have tackled the same practical questions, such as authentication, reverse logistics, chemical safety and consumer engagement, and turned the answers into customer loyalty. In this open discussion, leaders from different corners of the industry and beyond share how they overcame those bottlenecks, with open seats for participants to add examples apparel has yet to use.

What to expect from this type of session...

This is not your standard panel discussion. We’ll add a spare seat to the stage so that participants can step in and out of the panel to contribute their thoughts, experiences, and perspectives. This is your chance to join the conversation and have your say on the mainstage.
