The C&A Foundation has announced $1.5 million to fund five circular fashion initiatives worldwide to bridge the gap in implementing circular business models throughout the global apparel value chain. These initiatives include: Creative Circular Economy Business Models: London Waste and Recycling Board and QSA Partners, The Circular Activation Project: Circle Economy, Circular Leap Asia Program: Forum for the Future, Market Makers: World Resources Institute and WRAP Love Every Fiber of Your Being: MADE-BY and Global Action Plan.
These five initiatives will form a learning network where project teams will not only connect with each other as well as share lessons and methodologies. The new partners will complement other industry efforts around a circular fashion industry that include Fashion for Good, Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Make Fashion Circular, and Global Fashion Agenda’s 2020 Circular Fashion System Commitment.
