Today we discuss the environmental and social effects of overproduction in the fashion industry, and try to look ahead with optimism. We discuss:

Why overproduction occurs in the first place, and how it affects the Sell Through Rate at retailers.
Why is it so hard to get the data? We unwrap the extensive 2022 Fashion Transparency Index report.
The new market for discarded textiles, with oil refinery-type services in India and beyond.
The need for recycling innovations, and our recent visit to Renewcell’s new factory.
And our favourite initiatives from digital and physical fashion that could turn the negative trend around.

With: Konrad Olsson, Editor-in-Chief & Founder, Megha Prakash, Editorial Assistant, and Erik Sedin, Junior Editor.
