@hm @looop I would like to come and see the @looop in action. Can you tell me what type of old and outworn clothing I should bring? Will you recycle it and turn it into something I can buy? How long is the process? Happy to sit and watch it happen even if it take a few hours or more :)

Let’s remake and create a better fashion future. Introducing @looop — the world’s first in-store recycling system turning old garments into new. Never again will your unwanted clothes be seen as waste. From now on, they are a resource. #jointherecyclingrevolution #HM

Let's focus on industry & systems change & redistribution & shift the media spotlight away from guilt-tripping children & consumers 2 the point of nervous exhaustion. As well as seeing the #circulareconomy through a holistic social lens. discardstudies.com/2019/11/18/myt… (ta 4th link KayP)

For those interested in the #circulareconomy & #regulation for #textiles this is a must read report. It recognises our need 4 textiles culturally and economically & highlights the opportunities 4 change 2make it a future fit-4-purpose sustainable industry eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-wmge/…

@Maristotle This happens to me as well. They will have got it from the email on the paper.

Query for #AcademicTwitter- what is with the many emails (that for some reason go straight to my junk) from (what look like mainly engineering journals) saying 'Dear Sir' & pretending to have read my publication-what is th idea there/how do they get my address/what's it about? 🧐

Late to the party with this one but.... a must read! #Polyester #thefuturewewant #circularfashion

It's annoying and costly when appliances break too quickly after the warranty expires and can't be fixed. But thanks to the EU, we’re moving closer to a repair society. @vzbv's @Elke_Salzmann guest blogs about the #EUEcodesign rules adopted yesterday: bit.ly/2mN9uUG

“You can prove good science by combining design and science. Working with people that think differently” Juan P Hinestroza from @CornellCHE speaking @lborolondon Intersections Conference

Love the chance for researchers to come together 🙌

MIXING IT UP IN PRATO . I've been posting recently about my trip to the amazing Prato, Italy - discovering everything about the wool recycling industry! If you want more details I published a paper at the Global Fashion Conference about what I learnt: ow.ly/GfCW50uwqPK

@Maristotle Gravel surely?

Writing about #materialexperience, as you do, wondering.. what do people call tiny stones, like ones in a drive way? Is it only me that calls them chuckies?

Researchers unite 🙌 What a lovely afternoon with the RCA PhD researchers sitting in the sun. #phdchat #textiles #designresearch @RCA_TexRes @CCD_circdesign

Tonight I’m listening to @rlearley “Shirt Stories” - all her work to date! An epic story of how much you can learn from working on a project which evolves over years! If I can present such an amazing story about my work in the same timeout the future I would be very happy!

REJECTED 🙅‍♀️ Total fail by the government to ensure positive action is taken by the fashion industry. Back to business as usual then...😡 #Repost @transparentee_uk ・・・ Yesterday’s coverage of the rejection of the #environmentalauditcommittee report … bit.ly/2MUnGaD

What is it like doing a PhD? . I get asked this often. Sometimes it's very exciting - visiting places, asking questions and learning loads. Other days it's sitting in front of the laptop and writing, writing, writing... . No PhD journey is the same. . … bit.ly/2KnsIKY

What is it like doing a PhD? No PhD is alike! Mine = A lot of textiles! A bit hands on & a bit not. I work with some amazing people, help out on some great events, and meet some incredible experts. Which makes up for all the days stuck at a laptop #phdlife #designresearch

So apparently the government rejected all 18 suggestions as there are plenty of “voluntary measures”...... The #fashion industry loves to follow a voluntary measure NOT! Grrr #futureisbleak #Government #fail

Loved the summit tonight, a real mix of circular economy ideas across so many industries! #Summit19 #circulardesign #circulareconomy
