INSTÄLLT - Engineering Sustainable Fashion - KTH Sustainability Pub night 2 April
Welcome to a KTH Sustainability Pubnight 2 April, 17: 00-19:30.
The clothing industry’s greenhouse gas emissions add up to more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. From production, transportation, sales and recycling, engineering plays a vital role across the entire value chain. How can new technology and research accelerate the shift towards a sustainable and circular clothing industry, and what role does KTH play?
Time: Thu 2020-04-02 17.00 - 19.30
Location: Restauranglabbet, Valhallavägen 79, STOCKHOLM
Participating: KTH Innovation, Re:newcell and Global Change Award winners circular.fashion and Dimpora

Lykke Westgren from KTH Innovation will share how KTH works with The Global Change Award, an international innovation challenge aiming to accelerate a shift towards a circular fashion industry.
