BARCELONA - “More of the same is not going to get us to where we need to go,” said the ever-outspoken global fellow for the Institute for Public and Environmental Affairs Linda Greer at the recent Planet Textiles in Barcelona where she sat down alongside long-time Ecotextile News contributor Phil Patterson to discuss the direction of textile chemical management in global supply chains.
The pair spoke with the Sustainable Fashion Academy’s Mike Schragger in the Planet Textiles Pod, for the debut episode of the second series of the Big Closets, Small Planets podcast series, in a wide-ranging discussion that touches on the ZDHC initiative, what retailers can do more effectively, climate change, water pollution and Greenpeace’s sudden pause on its textile activities.
