The Fabric Source – Bæredygtige Tekstiler

The Fabric Source is the first Nordic sustainable fabric platform. It is a physical small showroom located at the Design Society, starting up with about 800 samples of fabrics with a sustainable approach created to offer the fashion- and textile industry a way into the jungle of making chooses for a more sustainable future. The project is a joint initiative lead by DAFI, under Nordic Initiative, Clean and Ethical (NICE) in close collaboration with leading partners within the textile industry, such as CLASS, Source4Style, Better Cotton Initiative and Sustainable Apparel Coalition.

Og lidt mere på dansk. DAFI har taget initiativ til at lede vejen for en mere bæredygtig retning indenfor mode. Det er et godt træk og på tide, da modebranchen er en mega svine-industri, som samtidigt oftest promovere overforbrug på måder, der simpelthen ikke giver mening, som verden ser ud idag. Derfor stort velkommen til The Fabric Source – et udvalg af ca. 800 materialeprøver på tekstiler med forskellige bæredygtige vinkler. Det er endnu ikke helt afklaret hvilke bæredygtige kriterier og indgangsvinkler dette ‘Materiale Showroom’ udvælger deres tekstiler efter. Det kommer med tiden lover den ansvarshavende, som tager imod henvendelser fra virksomheder og uddannelses institutioner  med bæredygtige ambitioner.
