Manufacturing & Retail
The manufacturing and retail stage aims to reduce textile waste accumulation and over production, to optimise efficiency in the cut, make and trim of a garment through digital solutions and on-demand production, and to extend the life of products and packaging through circular business models. This supply chain step aims to reduce the overall waste to landfill at a factory, retail and consumer level.
