  • #34 Rune Orloff, Co-founder of POOL (Garments Subscription Service )

    This week we’re meeting with Rune Orloff the co-founder of POOL, a subscription platform for menswear based in Berlin. 

    As an answer to the overload of garments produced and bought, Rune recently created what he calls « the wardrobe freedom », or a way to swap garments without owning them. His statement is clear: we buy clothes, but we always wear the same ones. POOL is a smart sustainable system that can surely be considered as one of the solutions to change our approach to fashion. 

     

    Based on a membership system, it is beneficial for the consumer as well for the brands. Indeed, it contributes to a circular economy, providing at the same time data for brands to produce less but better targeted products.

     

    In this episode, he talks about his previous experiences in the fashion industry that nourished his current business. You will know everything about how he launched the service in mid covid time, and what’s his plan for the future.

  • #31 Franziska Dormann, Global Organic Textile Standard Representative (Organisation)

    This week we’re meeting with Franziska Dormann, she works as a representative of Global Organic Textile Standard for Germany, Austria and Switzerland areas. 

     

    Known as the worldwide leading standard for organic fibers, GOTS, as you may call it, has become a reference tool for the fashion and textile industries regarding sustainability. It is a certification ensuring that natural fibers are organic and also produced in fair conditions.

    What makes it interesting is that in a time where transparency seems inevitable, certification is used as a common global language for both consumers and supply chain players. 

     

    In this episode, you will know everything about GOTS from how to become certified, how it is relevant in the market and the requirements linked to it.

    Franziska is claiming for a holistic approach of current stakes in fashion where sustainability begins from the very first step of the product.

    « Now you can see that different partners and stakeholders of the industry are really interested in getting certified and getting the supply chain transparent on ecological as well as on a social criteria level. »

     

    « Sustainable fashion is something which is not a trend anymore and we are going to a new era. I really hope for that because there is no other way to cope with what is happening in the world. »

  • #26 Mark Hartnell, Director of Textiles at Seaqual Initiative (Upcycling marine plastic company)

    This week, I’m joining Mark Hartnell, he’s the director of textiles at Seaqual Initiative, an organization that supports ocean cleaning and raises awareness of plastic marine pollution.

    Gathering communities part of the blue economy like NGO’s and fishermen, Seaqual Initiative collects ocean litters and recycles the plastic found in it. Recently, they’ve developed their very first product: SEAQUAL® YARN and successfully figured out how to create yarns from plastic waste. With a very specific process, they innovated to separate the polymers giving strong outcomes comparable to a classic polyester yarn.

    Mark is aiming for more circularity and sustainability in the blue economy, as well as becoming a global and local solution. 

    Dive into this fascinating discussion and discover Mark’s upcoming challenges for social and environmental justice.
