Sustainable Luxury Event
LONDON
THE INSTITUTE OF MATERIALS, MINERALS AND MINING, SW1Y 5DB
01/03/2012 3:00PM to 7:00PM
Why sustainable luxury?
- The luxury sector has a high environmental footprint with nearly a million tonnes of textiles are thrown away each year
- Over half of waste produced can be recycled
- There is a high demand for sustainable luxury to prevent such waste
- Bio-materials now offer new design consideration
- Industry & design led research can help implement new local and international government regulations to reduce the amount of waste in this sector
This event will:
- Demonstrate the perspective of brand owners on the use of sustainable material and practices
- Showcase the concepts of integrating bio-based materials to the luxury sectors
- Discuss opportunities for the implementation of innovative sustainable materials
- Highlight the options for using bio-based materials and manufacturing processes for improving the sustainability profile of your company
