In this latest episode of Ecotextile Talks, supported by the technology company Higg, listeners hear from Jeremy Lardeau, Vice President, Higg Index at the Sustainable Apparel Coalition; and Cash East, Director of Analytics at Higg, who explain how the Higg Materials Sustainability Index can make a significant, positive impact on environmental sustainability in the global fashion industry.

They outline why material selection matters in the textile sector when it comes to the environment, how product designers can use the MSI as an entry point to improve the eco-credentials of their supply chains, and tell us where they hope the Higg MSI will be in five years.
