Welcome to episode 16 of HappyPorch Radio! In this, final episode of Season 7 we have a fascinating conversation with Dr.Lynn Wilson, an expert in circular fashion and sustainable design and CEO at Circular Design Synergy (Circular DS). Dr. Lynn talks about the importance of shifting from linear models to circular ones, emphasising that true sustainability lies not just in materials but also in the entire lifecycle of products. She also explains the role of policy advocacy in promoting circular supply chains and the importance of evidence-based approaches in driving policy change, staggering environmental impact of textile waste and the need for policy measures that incentivize sustainable practices. She shares her thoughts about how important it is to approach policy with the mindset that it is with people and not being done to people.. Further in the conversation we discuss the significance of cross-party collaboration, engaging civil society, NGOs, and government to create a critical mass for change by understanding consumer behaviours and household dynamics. Tune in to hear how important incentives are in circular transitions and how businesses can find practical solutions that benefit their operations while aligning with circular principles!

In episode 188, Kestrel welcomes Adriana Galijasevic, the Denim and Sustainability Expert at G-Star RAW, back to the show, alongside Sofie Schop, G-Star RAW’s Sustainability Director. Less than 2 years since the last time G-Star RAW came on the show, this conversation provides an opportunity to check in on the brand and how far they’ve come with their sustainability goals. ”It’s a journey of continuous improvement, and always looking for the solutions. And we always look at these challenges as actually enablers of new design, rather than looking at them as barriers or obstacles to what we do.” -Adriana Galijasevic, Denim + Sustainability Expert at G-Star RAW On this week’s show, Adriana and Sofie share more on G-Star RAW’s recently updated denim icons. Basically, they took their iconic styles that have been selling well, and applied their circular principles to these designs. 100% recyclable, these styles have received the highest denim product certification yet issued by the Cradle to Cradle Product Innovation Institute. Additionally, Kestrel, Adriana and Sofie talk about what G-Star RAW’s sustainability goals are, where they are at now, and where they hope to be in the future. Below is a breakdown of G-Star RAW’s sustainable material and sustainable cotton usage over the years. Their goal by the end of 2020 is to have 100% sustainable cotton and 90% sustainable material.

In episode 108, Kestrel welcomes two key players at G-Star RAW to the show - Adriana Galijasevic, their Denim and Sustainability Expert, as well as Frouke Bruinsma, corporate responsibility director at G-Star RAW. A condition for doing business at G-Star RAW today, sustainability has been formally built into the company's framework since 2006. "SUSTAINABILITY HAS BEEN A CONDITION FOR DOING BUSINESS AND IT'S A CONSTANT WORK IN PROGRESS, SO WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE NEXT SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION AND ALWAYS STRIVING TO SURPASS OUR LATEST SUSTAINABLE ACHIEVEMENTS." -ADRIANA GALIJASEVIC, G-STAR RAW'S DENIM + SUSTAINABILITY EXPERT In this episode, Kestrel asks Adriana + Frouke to share their personal experience with sustainability, as well as the background story G-Star RAW has connected to sustainability. In 2012, G-Star RAW took their sustainable capsule and decided to expand that concept and apply it to their entire line. Since then, sustainability has been a condition for doing business and it's a constant work in progress. Adriana + Frouke also share a very in-depth and detailed account of the layers of sustainability + circularity that were integrated into the design and manufacturing process behind The Most Sustainable Jeans Ever. As Adriana explains, The Most Sustainable Jeans Ever are a culmination of all of the sustainability work G-Star RAW has been doing formally since 2006; the team developed this project using a holistic approach, and a sustainable lens on every step of the process. The denim fabric used in this project was certified Gold level by Cradle to Cradle, and one of the most powerful elements of this collection is that G-Star RAW has created open-source access to their sustainable denim fabric-development processes through C2C's Fashion Positive Materials Collection. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: "Cradle To Cradle: Remaking The Way We Make Things", book that impacted Adriana's interest in sustainability "If You Care About Ethical Fashion, It's Time To Stop Sleeping On G-Star RAW", article by Whitney Bauck in Fashionista Some of the issues with denim manufacturing historically when it comes to sustainability: + The indigo and the use of sodium hydrosulfites + Cotton and its water-intensive nature as a crop + throughout the denim manufacturing process DyStar®, partner G-Star RAW worked with to develop the cleanest indigo technology for their most sustainable jeans (the process uses 70% less chemicals + 15% less indigo, it doesn't require any hydrosulfites and it produces no salt byproduct in the reduction or the dyeing process) Artistic Milliners, partner G-Star RAW worked with in the development of their fabric for the most sustainable jeans Saitex, where G-Star produces - "basically the beacon of sustainable manufacturing" Bangladesh Accord, one of the first ways the industry started working together to collaborate Renewed Denim, new product launching in stores in May (jeans made with upcycled yarns from recycled G-Star RAW jeans) EarthColors, launched in November 2017 (in collaboration with Archroma, naturally-dyed jeans, colored with traceable dyestuff derived from recycled plants and nutshells) Lena Library, a Fashion Library in Amsterdam where you can "check out" or lease garments Recommended Reading From Intro:"Fonts, Colors, Layouts Impact Whether Customers Will Buy From Your Website" via The Fashion Law
In episode 101, Kestrel welcomes trailblazing print textile designer Becky Earley to the show. A designer, researcher, educator and facilitator for circular textiles, Becky is also a key part of the research consortium work for Mistra Future Fashion, as well as the UE Horizon 2020 project Trash2Cash. "The job and role of the designer is changing radically - you're not just bringing a product to the shop floor anymore - you have to know so much more now about what will happen next." -Becky Earley, Circular Design Expert In this episode, Becky takes us back to some of the history and evolution of her work, including her early "upcycling" projects before the word had even been established. She highlights how she believes the designer plays a unique role moving into the future and how circular design concepts are part of that shift. Additionally, Becky shares thoughts on how moving forward, she anticipates that the user will have more control and knowledge around the speed of the things in their wardrobe. So, not only will brands ask people to bring things back to the store when they're sick of them, but products will actually be created to move at different speeds in your wardrobe. As Becky says, there will be a need for fast and slow fashion in the future. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: TED (Textiles, Environment, Design): group at Chelsea University that became the origins of what is now considered, the Centre for Circular Design Textiles Future Research Centre Centre For Circular Design, website coming soon Trash2Cash, the EU Horizon 2020 project Mistra Future Fashion, research for systemic change in fashion Filippa K, a brand that Becky is working on a project for through Mistra Future Fashion Textile Toolbox, TED’s web platform project for MISTRA Future Fashion Ellen MacArthur Foundation Dutch Design Week, where Becky's team for Trash2Cash will be presenting their final prototypes Innovations in recycling waste paper into new cellulosic fiber at Aalto University in Finland
