Peggy and Alissa Baier-Lentz, cofounder and COO, Kintra Fibers, talk about the fashion industry and how it has historically been one of the most polluting, but there is hope for the future. She says the fashion industry of the future is one that looks very different from the fashion industry of today.
They also discuss:
- What are synthetic fibers and the value chain as a whole.
- The Fossil Fashion Study and how the production of today’s synthetic fibers account for 1.35% of global oil consumption, which exceeds the annual oil consumption of the entire country of Spain.
- How to get the younger generation excited about sustainability and fashion.
