T4EU Reach Out Podcast | Episode 7
About
‘Rethinking Fashion Waste’ is the latest episode of the Transform4Europe podcast Reach Out, co-produced by Universidade Católica Portuguesa. With Reet Aus, Senior Researcher at the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) and Designer, as a guest speaker, the discussion invites listeners to rethink fashion waste through consciousness and responsibility.
The conversation moderated by Anna Lohmatova, Project Manager at EKA, explores the real case of the transfer and application of UPMADE® model know-how in Kenya’s largest textile factory.
The Estonian UPMADE® model, based on research and design, creates new ecological garments from materials that are normally waste in the fashion industry.
In this episode, Reet Aus and Anna Lohmatova also analyse how the European Union’s current sustainability regulations are impacting the textile sector, which is one of the most resource-intensive and polluting sectors globally.
