Factory Jobs for Ethiopian Women Haven’t Translated into Greater Participation in Politics

The Ethiopian government and the investors creating employment have a long way to go to offer women what the International Labour Organisation terms decent work. A recent research shows that the main actors determining labour conditions in Ethiopian factories have little concern for the potential damage that poor working conditions can have on their reputations.

Lasting Fashion / VYN

12 July 2022

Everyone has a pair of sneakers they love and don’t want to dispose of. That is where VYN offers a unique proposition with the right to personalise and renew your sneakers yourself. VYN has designed the first sneakers of its kind by incorporating all aspects of the sneakers’ use cycle from manufacturing through to end of use—in essence creating a circular care system that takes responsibility within three pillars: Creation - Use - End of use.

Buy Less, Buy Better: So, Here's Some New VYN in Old Bottle

Here’s how and why Basel-based VYN claims to be the first sneaker brand to stand for responsible materials and manufacturing, eco-innovation (designed for self-repair), care services, and at the end of life, responsible disassembly and re-use of materials and resources, thereby creating a circular system.

Recycling / Problems & Prospects

24 June 2022

4 minutes
From the 2010 "Fashion Trashion" show put out by the the University of Minnesota, Morris (UMM), Studio Art department. All the outfits were made by studio students using recycled, reclaimed, and re-used materials.

Brands Lean in ‘Recycled’ Clothes. Why Is Recycling Them Further So Hard?

There’s plenty of evidence that reducing the consumption of clothing by wearing items longer and buying second-hand is preferable to purchasing recycled fibre clothes. But even second-hand fashion isn’t without problems when you consider the scale and pace of clothing production today. Again, most clothing is simply not designed to be recycled. Even when it is, the fashion industry lacks the kind of infrastructure needed to really embrace a circular economy model.
