In this insightful and inspiring episode, Hannes Schoenegger, the CEO and Co-Founder of Bananatex® and QWSTION shared his insight on what the future of fashion could look like and what changes we need to see to get there. We also discussed the amazing capabilities of the Bananatex® fabric, the world&#39;s first biodegradable waterproof fabric made from banana plants. This fibre is not only biodegradable, but it&#39;s also fully circular.

To recap, SHEIN is the worst contributor to fast fashion, trumping their other fast fashion rivals in mass by launching over 9000 new products every day producing over 30 BILLION dollars a year in disposable clothes. With all this said, doesn&#39;t it make you think - how is this possible? And what do these statistics say about fast fashion and the way we&#39;re moving as an industry? What&#39;s going on and how is this even legal?

Today we&#39;re talking to Carrie Davies, the founder and designer at ONE Essentials, a circular underwear brand based in the UK that has done the work to prove that circular fashion is possible.

Yes, they&#39;ve addressed that issue.

BEFORE YOU START: Marketing is important in business. BUT there is a consideration to be had between using marketing solely to increase profits without consideration of your business practices and using marketing to support the positive impact your business is doing. I&#39;m very cautious with how often or how much marketing/sales advice I put out on this platform because my mission is not to promote overconsumption and overproduction but to help society, brands and individuals who wear clothes feel empowered by how you connect to business, fashion and to give you tools to do better in the industry.With that said, this episode is aimed towards sustainable fashion brands who have already done their ethical due diligence in their operations and supply chain, but just need the extra hand in getting the word out there, reaching their target audience and making their mark in the industry.Like the podcast? Leave a <a href="https://g.page/r/CR0km5chjrGPEAI/review" rel="nofollow">review on Google</a>!→ <a href="https://naturspired.com/subscribe/" rel="nofollow">Subscribe to the newsletter here</a>→ Starting a Sustainable Fashion Brand?<a href="http://naturspired.com/services" rel="nofollow"> Let&#39;s Chat!</a><ul><li>We can help you with sustainable fashion consulting, coaching, transparency management and more!</li></ul>→ <a href="https://app.redcircle.com/shows/09beedff-117d-4044-b667-a1a23904e1d9/donations" rel="nofollow">Support the podcast here</a>Connect:Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/naturspired/" rel="nofollow"> @Naturspired™</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/naturspired/" rel="nofollow">Naturspired™</a>Website: <a href="https://naturspired.com/" rel="nofollow">naturspired.com</a> Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/naturspired-podcast/donations'>https://redcircle.com/naturspired-podcast/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a>

I&#39;m not trying to stir the pot, but this is an important thing to talk about. How are we going to create true material change in the fashion industry if all we&#39;re doing is mass-producing more of something better? The key to moving the dial towards a sustainable future and a circular economy starts far from the raw materials and has everything to do with how we think, relate and connect to fashion as businesses, brands and as a society as a whole. And this is what we cover in today&#39;s episode.→ <a href="https://naturspired.com/subscribe/" rel="nofollow">Subscribe to the newsletter here</a>→ Starting a Sustainable Fashion Brand? <a href="https://naturspired.com/services/" rel="nofollow">Check out our services</a>!<ul><li>We can help you establish a sustainable business strategy, grow your brand identity and provide resources to help you effectively dominate the market.</li></ul>→ <a href="https://app.redcircle.com/shows/09beedff-117d-4044-b667-a1a23904e1d9/donations" rel="nofollow">Support the podcast here</a>Connect:Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/naturspired/" rel="nofollow"> @Naturspired™ </a>| Email: <a href="mailto:cris@naturspired.com" rel="nofollow">cris@naturspired.com</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cris-herrera/" rel="nofollow">Cris Herrera</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/naturspired/" rel="nofollow">Naturspired™</a>Website: <a href="https://naturspired.com/" rel="nofollow">naturspired.com</a> Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/naturspired-podcast/donations'>https://redcircle.com/naturspired-podcast/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a>

Hello! Cris here, welcome to a new different type of episode. Once a month, I&#39;ll be sharing a little casual, personal development nugget for you to recenter and reconnect with yourself. These Self Fridays will be completely unrelated to business, sustainability or fashion and mostly focused on YOU. It&#39;s a day that you can check in with yourself, reflect and get the boost you need to keep at it.Today&#39;s episode is about feeling the butterflies. It&#39;s about tapping into your emotions and doing things in life that make you feel excited, nervous or gives you that sense of anticipation and rush. It&#39;s a feeling that sometimes can&#39;t be controlled, and it&#39;s a feeling that reminds us how perfectly human we are.→ <a href="https://naturspired.com/subscribe/" rel="nofollow">Subscribe to the newsletter here</a>→ Starting a Brand? <a href="http://naturspired.com/brand-space/" rel="nofollow">Check out Brand Space</a>!<ul><li>We can help you establish a sustainable business strategy, grow your brand identity and provide resources to help you effectively dominate the market.</li></ul>→ <a href="https://app.redcircle.com/shows/09beedff-117d-4044-b667-a1a23904e1d9/donations" rel="nofollow">Support the podcast here</a> Connect:Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/naturspired/" rel="nofollow"> @Naturspired™ </a>| Email: <a href="mailto:cris@naturspired.com" rel="nofollow">cris@naturspired.com</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cris-herrera/" rel="nofollow">Cris Herrera</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/naturspired/" rel="nofollow">Naturspired™</a> Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/naturspired-podcast/donations'>https://redcircle.com/naturspired-podcast/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a>

Why is the word &#34;sustainability&#34; losing its meaning? The truth is there is a lack of accountability, policy formation and business structures that clearly and effectively regulate what sustainability means and what it means to be sustainable.Because sustainability and transparency are such key components at Naturspired™, we&#39;ve implemented the <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1018820/Guidance_for_businesses_on_making_environmental_claims_.pdf" rel="nofollow">CMA Guidance on Environmental Claims on Goods &amp; Services</a> in our business as a transparency model and a guideline on how we believe businesses should be run.

This episode will explore unethical practices brands use to gain consumer buy-in and provide a few examples of what successful greenwashing looks like and how to avoid it. By shedding light on this issue, you will understand the true difference between actionable change and altering how a brand “looks and feels” to increase the likelihood of a purchase, with no actual substance.Read The Article: <a href="https://naturspired.com/sustainability/greenwashing-signs-to-avoid/" rel="nofollow">https://naturspired.com/sustainability/greenwashing-signs-to-avoid/ </a>Mentioned Links:➡ <a href="http://changingmarkets.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/SYNTHETICS-ANONYMOUS-PRESS-RELEASE-UK.pdf" rel="nofollow">Changing Market Foundation Brand Assessment</a>➡ <a href="https://www.nudiejeans.com/product/frida-shorts-faded-sun-denim/" rel="nofollow">Nudie Jeans Product Description</a>Socials:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/naturspired/" rel="nofollow">Instagram @Naturspired</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/naturspired/" rel="nofollow">LinkedIn @Naturspired</a> Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/naturspired-podcast/donations'>https://redcircle.com/naturspired-podcast/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a>
