@hm @looop I would like to come and see the @looop in action. Can you tell me what type of old and outworn clothing I should bring? Will you recycle it and turn it into something I can buy? How long is the process? Happy to sit and watch it happen even if it take a few hours or more :)

Let's focus on industry & systems change & redistribution & shift the media spotlight away from guilt-tripping children & consumers 2 the point of nervous exhaustion. As well as seeing the #circulareconomy through a holistic social lens. https://t.co/IGmaU0GmLl (ta 4th link KayP)

[Professor Becky Earley @rlearley]

For those interested in the #circulareconomy & #regulation for #textiles this is a must read report. It recognises our need 4 textiles culturally and economically & highlights the opportunities 4 change 2make it a future fit-4-purpose sustainable industry https://t.co/PXV4OgLPwo

[Professor Becky Earley @rlearley]

What do you think we should do about polyester? I just published an essay from my Professorial Platform lecture, Perspectives on the Future of Polyester... I reached out to 20 experts to ask them how they see the future. https://t.co/aHRvhCNCz2 #circularfashion

It's annoying and costly when appliances break too quickly after the warranty expires and can't be fixed. But thanks to the EU, we’re moving closer to a repair society. @vzbv's @Elke_Salzmann guest blogs about the #EUEcodesign rules adopted yesterday: https://t.co/Eu75kNFG3C

MIXING IT UP IN PRATO

I've been posting recently about my trip to the amazing Prato, Italy - discovering everything about the wool recycling industry! If you want more details I published a paper at the Global Fashion Conference about what I learnt:

Tonight I’m listening to @rlearley “Shirt Stories” - all her work to date!
An epic story of how much you can learn from working on a project which evolves over years!
If I can present such an amazing story about my work in the same timeout the future I would be very happy!

REJECTED 🙅‍♀️ Total fail by the government to ensure positive action is taken by the fashion industry.

Back to business as usual then...😡 #Repost @transparentee_uk

What is it like doing a PhD? .
I get asked this often. Sometimes it's very exciting - visiting places, asking questions and learning loads. Other days it's sitting in front of the laptop and writing, writing, writing... .
No PhD journey is the same.

No PhD is alike!

Mine = A lot of textiles! A bit hands on & a bit not. I work with some amazing people, help out on some great events, and meet some incredible experts.

Which makes up for all the days stuck at a laptop

So apparently the government rejected all 18 suggestions as there are plenty of “voluntary measures”......
The #fashion industry loves to follow a voluntary measure NOT! Grrr #futureisbleak #Government #fail
