BERLIN – German tech start-up circular.fashion has launched an open data standard for the fashion industry, as it lays the foundations for stakeholders to better engage in circular business practices.
The open source licensed platform will host data relating to apparel production through to its end-of-life to encourage recycling and reuse opportunities where possible.
“Over six years of research, pilots and collaboration with stakeholders along the fashion value chain has been translated into the circularity.ID standard,” says CEO Ina Budde. “With the mission of wider adoption of circular practices in the fashion industry and to align with initiatives striving for the same goal, we are releasing the circularity.ID as an Open Data Standard.”
