What is fashion raw material guide?
This material guide is designed by UPM to help you choose materials for your brand’s clothes or accessories. As the world is looking for ways to mitigate climate change and figure out ways to manage resource scarcity, clothing and accessories need to be designed to be a part of circular economy. This means that they are made of renewable, preferably recycled raw materials, and that they are recyclable or reusable.
This e-book includes information about recycled textile materials as well as new bio-attributed materials that are replacing fossil-based fibres, and have a lower carbon footprint.
The customer demand for more sustainable fashion is growing and brands need to comply with increasing regulation. We want to help you stay on top of these changes and be a frontrunner in the circular economy.
