What is the role of bio-based and upcycled materials in a sustainable circular future for the retail sector?
Ahead of an upcoming Melbourne Design Week panel discussion, which I am moderating, I asked three industry experts for their views: Suzette Jackson from KFive Furniture, Riley Aickin from UPPAREL and interior designer Jade Whittaker from Breathe Architecture.
Can you tell me about the importance of circularity and how the retail sector can begin to embrace this concept for a more sustainable future?
Suzette: It’s a challenge for industry to adopt circularity processes and understand the implications and benefits of closing and optimising the materials and product loop.
