With the release of the A New Textiles Economy report in 2017, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation brought the impact of the fashion industry into the spotlight and prompted many industry stakeholders to take action in order to unlock the environmental and economic benefits that a circular economy for fashion can bring to the economy, the environment, and society.
YKK has long been working to protect the planet through its products and processes and is further committed to actions and developments that are aligned with the Foundation's circular economy principles.
The circular economy is based on three key principles: eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials, and regenerate nature.
