WTiN speaks with Mark Sumner, textiles programme lead at WRAP in the first of a two-part episode about policy and regulations driving circularity and durability in textiles.
This is the first episode in a two-part series with Mark Sumner, textiles programme lead at global environmental action NGO, WRAP.
In the next two episodes, Sumner will speak about policy frameworks and legislation that is driving circularity in the textile industry.
During this first episode he explores the evolution of Wrap’s Roadmap to Circularity to the Roadmap for its Textiles Pact. The UK Textiles Pact (formerly Textiles 2030) is the UK’s leading voluntary initiative supporting businesses and organisations within the fashion and textiles industry to transition to more sustainable and circular practices by the end of the decade.
The roadmap, meanwhile, charts the course for navigating the climate-critical years, from 2026 to 2030. It establishes priority indicators and actions to scale progress and achieve the Pact’s targets, while encouraging flexibility in individual business pathways.
Sumner touches upon the regulation and policy and speaks about where he believes the priorities lie for the textile and fashion industry.
