Beyond the Bin: Building the Infrastructure for a Circular Fashion Economy

Fashion and textiles are among the world's most resource-intensive industries, yet they remain largely absent from climate conversations. This PNW Climate Week panel brings together the women building the systems that make circularity possible, from apparel rental and large-scale resale to returns management, recycling, and material recovery. Join founders and industry leaders for a conversation about what it takes to scale circular business models, the operational challenges behind keeping products and materials in use, and the role circularity can play in reducing waste and emissions. Attendees will gain an inside look at the infrastructure, innovation, and economics shaping the future of a circular fashion economy.
