LEEDS - Applications are now open for researchers, businesses and other organisations to apply for funding to run targeted research projects that will provide new insights, evidence and data to help drive sustainability practices in the UK’s fashion and textile industry.
The £700,000 ‘Sustainable Transition Fund’ is being offered as part of the Back to Baselines in Circular Fashion & Textiles (B2B F&T) programme, a collaborative initiative that brings together academic researchers, industry bodies and government agencies to assess current sustainable practices and establish scientifically-backed baselines that will ensure future strategy is aligned with environmental targets.
