A second panel talk will discuss the evolution of circular solutions with representatives from Lacoste, Naia, Unifi and Control Union. Accelerating Circularity founder and CEO Karla Magruder will be moderating the discussion.

Ecodesign is the topic of a third panel talk, with representatives from Säntis, Urban Outfitters, Spinnova and Temsan Air. It will be followed by a round table on decarbonisation, and the event closes with a discussion of Nordic examples of circular solutions for the textile industry, with UPM Biochemicals and TreeToTextile.
