The Future Fabrics Virtual Expo showcases individually selected sustainable fabrics that are an alternative to today’s most used textiles, which are predominantly made from polyester and conventional cotton fibres.

Here’s an excerpt that explains that what we say and what we do are two very different things and why understanding social influence is so powerful.

“Surveys have shown that people make very different sustainability choices when in private compared to when they are in the company of others. A Harvard Business Review article cited research where customers were asked to choose between an eco-friendly granola bar (“Good for you and the environment”) or a traditional product. The sustainable option was twice as likely to be chosen when others were present than when the choice was made in private”
