Let's focus on industry & systems change & redistribution & shift the media spotlight away from guilt-tripping children & consumers 2 the point of nervous exhaustion. As well as seeing the #circulareconomy through a holistic social lens. discardstudies.com/2019/11/1… (ta 4th link KayP)

What do you think we should do about polyester? I just published an essay from my Professorial Platform lecture, Perspectives on the Future of Polyester... I reached out to 20 experts to ask them how they see the future. link.medium.com/BzaPAjyAx0 #circularfashion

It's annoying and costly when appliances break too quickly after the warranty expires and can't be fixed. But thanks to the EU, we’re moving closer to a repair society. @vzbv's @Elke_Salzmann guest blogs about the #EUEcodesign rules adopted yesterday: bit.ly/2mN9uUG

An epic story of how much you can learn from working on a project which evolves over years!
If I can present such an amazing story about my work in the same timeout the future I would be very happy! – at London, England

What is it like doing a PhD? .
I get asked this often. Sometimes it's very exciting - visiting places, asking questions and learning loads. Other days it's sitting in front of the laptop and writing, writing, writing... .
No PhD journey is the same.

What is it like doing a PhD?
No PhD is alike!
Mine = A lot of textiles! A bit hands on & a bit not. I work with some amazing people, help out on some great events, and meet some incredible experts.
Which makes up for all the days stuck at a laptop

So apparently the government rejected all 18 suggestions as there are plenty of “voluntary measures”......
The #fashion industry loves to follow a voluntary measure NOT! Grrr #futureisbleak #Government #fail – at Bromley, London
