The LYCRA Company, a global leader in developing innovative fibres and technology solutions for textile and apparel, will join a panel discussion at the inaugural United Nations Conscious Fashion and Lifestyle Network Annual Meeting taking place at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.
With its recent commercialisation of COOLMAX® and THERMOLITE® fibres made from 100 per cent textile waste, The LYCRA Company is uniquely positioned to participate in the discussion titled Responsible Consumption and Production: Designing for Our Times.
The LYCRA Company is focused on a variety of fibre and fabric innovations that reduce or divert waste, keeping materials in use and out of landfills. The company’s EcoMade family of recycled offerings includes fibres made from pre- and post-consumer waste.
Jean Hegedus, Sustainability Director, The LYCRA Company, will share her perspective on how the company is scaling recycling solutions to help address the challenge of textile waste.
Kerry Bannigan, Executive Director, Fashion Impact Fund, expressed her delight at The LYCRA Company’s participation at the annual meeting, saying, “The LYCRA Company recognises that the journey towards a more sustainable future is a collective effort across the industry. We are thrilled to have them join our first annual meeting to discuss solutions that will accelerate the fashion and lifestyle sector’s implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.”
The United Nations Conscious Fashion and Lifestyle Network’s inaugural annual meeting is co-convened by the United Nations Office for Partnerships and the Fashion Impact Fund.
