WHY MAKE A SNEAKER THAT'S DESIGNED TO FALL APART?
CONVERSATION 01
RE:THINKING WASTE
Hear from a surprise guest who is second-hand clothing champion on how they manage style with sustainability. PUMA partners Ortessa and Carbios will give us the dirt on biodegrading our clothes. And PUMA’s Anne-Laure Descours and Romain Girard will talk about the brand’s approach to waste innovation – including the backstory of RE:SUEDE, PUMA’s experiment in designing a biodegradable sneaker.
SOPHIE BENSON
Sustainable fashion journalist
CONVERSATION 02
MATERIAL WORLD
One of the biggest gains will come from more sustainable textiles. But how do we do this at scale? A deep dive into the progress we can make with material innovation. Ashley Gill will share which brands are leading the industry. We’ll find out from Mohammed Jabbar what the opportunities are within manufacturing. We’ll look at what material innovation offers the biggest impact (spoiler alert: PUMA’s Howard Williams knows it’s cotton and polyester). Dana Schou will give us an inside view into what it actually takes to scale up recycled material at a global scale across the fashion industry. And a surprise influencer and sustainable materials consultant will give us the lowdown on what’s needed to bring consumers on the journey.
ARE ALL MATERIALS EQUAL?
CONVERSATION 04
WOOD FOR THE TEES
We’re taking a global look at how the industry can reduce its footprint. Joining PUMA’s Stefan Seidel is Canopy, an NGO that is working to protect the world’s forests and climate, start-up Infinited Fiber and long-term textile supply partner Lenzing to talk about the tech that exists right now, and the opportunities we can take advantage of.
WHERE ON EARTH ARE YOU WEARING?
CONVERSATION 05
FOREVER BETTER
What’s possible if we act together? It’s the collaboration story we never share. The one where industry players know that if they act together, they can make more progress, faster. At PUMA, we’re focused on a better forever. This means a decarbonised apparel and footwear industry, decent working conditions with fair wages and a motivated supply chain that sees sustainability as business and planet critical. We can achieve this – and more – if we collaborate. We’ve invited specialists who work across the fashion industry – peers, suppliers, NGOs – to help us identify the opportunities and scale true collaboration could have, not just on our industry, but our planet.
HOW DO WE DO BETTER TOGETHER?
CONVERSATION 03
ECO-ANXIETY INTO ACTION
