HOST: That's a significant hurdle. Now, what advice would you give to learners who want to make an impact in this industry but may face resistance from colleagues or clients? GUEST: I'd say, lead by example. Show the potential cost savings and brand benefits of sustainable practices. And don't be afraid to collaborate with like-minded professionals to create a stronger case for change. HOST: Wise words. Lastly, how do you envision the future of sustainable textiles and fashion? What changes would you like to see? GUEST: I'd like to see the industry shift towards circular fashion, where resources are reused and recycled, and waste is minimized.
