LONDON – PEFC, the sustainable forestry NGO will host an event on the 22 May at Techspace Shoreditch, London where delegates will hear from experts at Lenzing, Textile Exchange and others about the latest best available technology for producing textiles from wood and how to source these fibres in a more transparent way.
Also on the agenda will be PEFC’s ‘Forests for Fashion’ initiative and its partnership with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and the United Nations Alliance for Sustainable Fashion. Forest for Fashion aims to ‘link’ forest-based materials such as viscose and lyocell from sustainably managed forests with the world of fashion.
