Our Textile Mountain
A workshop on circular transformation and impact.
Let’s put an end to waste. Full stop.
European consumers discard more than 26 kilos of textiles every year, of which less than 1% is ever recycled. It’s clear we can all do better. More importantly, most of us also want to do better! But where and how to start? We got you!
At RethinkRebels, we believe that TOGETHER we can create higher value in a circular economy, from circular design to circular strategies into a circular future. Because, as fashion professionals, WE have the power to put a stop to textile waste, wasteful behaviour, and wasteful business models.
That’s why we designed a hands-on workshop in which we help you, personally as well as professionally, to spin around the textile waste. In this workshop, we unpack the issues and provide the tools to start rethinking, from design to supply chain to business models and strategies.
It’s time for a change! Are you ready to rebel with us?
What are we going to do?
Our energetic workshop offers circular knowledge and practical tools for your day-to-day responsibilities. We challenge you to think, act and feel differently. We address key topics directly applicable to your circular transformation and work on this collaboratively and as a team within your organisation. You can do this, rebel.
A circular future begins with circular design thinking. From garments to services, from business models to supply chain. Future proof innovation is only made possible with circular design and lifecycle thinking.
This workshop shows you the importance of designing for circularity while embracing the complexity of developing solutions for lifecycle values.
The training can be customised to answer specific design questions and requirements of our participants.
