“We have to transform and we have to transform drastically. We don't have much time left to create that transformation. So either we take it or we will have to face disturbance in the world and no one knows what the effects will be.”-Pascal Brun, vice chair @apprlcoalition board

💡Starting off #PlanetTextiles this morning- Andrea Rosso, #sustainability ambassador, @DIESEL "Standards are amazing because with standards you can create your own set of regulations on a sustainable governance." @apprlcoalition

📍@Martha_Willis_, senior sustainability manager, C&A, on #circularity: "So just because there's no standardised definition for some of the concepts yet in the industry, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't start taking action." #PlanetTextiles @apprlcoalition

“Investors, particularly international investors are - with a few exceptions - still not touching the apparel sector in Asia.”- Bob Assenberg, fund director, Good Fashion Fund #PlanetTextiles @apprlcoalition

“We’ve got to ramp up high total suspended solids (TSS) in textile wastewater as a red flag when it comes to #textile microfibres.” Phil Patterson, Colour Connections. #PlanetTextiles @apprlcoalition

"It's a problem. From an #environmental level, from a human level. It's a problem that is not just associated with synthetic #textiles, it's affected by natural fibres, manufactured cellulosic fibres and synthetics, right across the supply chain."- Sophie Mather #PlanetTextiles

“We know where the emissions lie. So I think one thing that's important, we don't want to get hung up on on data being imperfect, we know that it's not where we need it to be.” - Michael Sadowski @sustainnyc #PlanetTextiles @apprlcoalition

“As we strive to future proof supply chains, it's crucial that the changes that we implement leave no one behind and foster shared prosperity.”- Amina Razvi
