1 2017 CELC CONGRESS BERGAMO OPEN PART CONFERENCES in collaboration with Managing sustainability in textile: Exploring best practices of traceability and circularity Sustainability has become a structural trend for the Fashion & Textile industry and is affecting its competitive dynamics, key success factors and consumers expectations. Traceability and circularity are the hot topics in Sustainable Fashion & Textile: the conferences will analyze these two drivers of change with the objective of providing some concrete tools and inspiring food for thought to the participants. Flax, as one of the most sustainable fibres, offers some remarkable advantages to the brands, the final consumers and our Planet. It will be useful to discuss how Flax/Linen can benefit of the new consumers expectations and how traceability, through a certification label, may guarantee the leadership in sustainability.
