WTiN speaks with Mark Sumner, textiles programme lead at WRAP in the second of a two-part episode about policy and regulations driving circularity and durability in textiles. 

This is the second episode in a two-part series with Mark Sumner, textiles programme lead at global environmental action NGO, WRAP.

In this episode, Sumner delves into durability in textiles and how this influences circularity. He analyses what durability means to individuals and what consumers have come to expect from their garments.

In this context, Sumner speaks at length about policy informing garment design and choices. He details how data will have the ability and power to influence policy as we move forward, with more accurate results that can inform design principles.

Additionally, we speak about WRAP’s Footprint Tool, which helps users navigate the complexities of the life cycle of textile products. It provides data on the full life cycle impacts of textiles and is used by retailers and brands.
