Applied Series: Engineering Circular Fashion by Disassembling Products with Resortecs' Cédric Vanhoeck
Manage episode 410189734 series 3331402
From Engineering to Fashion
Imagine a world where your clothes are as easy to recycle as paper and plastic. That's the vision Cedric Vanhoeck, founder and CEO of Resortecs, is turning into reality, and in this latest episode, host Peter Jeun Ho Tsang and Cédric discuss how Cedric's original career path of engineering led him to sorting out one of the fashion industry's biggest problems: products designed and destined for the landfill.
Dismantling Products Stitch by Stitch
Resortecs' proprietary technologies, Smart Stitch and Smart Disassembly, are the linchpins in making garment recycling a frictionless part of the fashion supply chain with threads that dissolve in machines what can be described as giant ovens. Cédric takes listeners through how the tech works and how brands such as Bershka and Decathlon have launched collections using the Reortecs system. But will this be enough? We dissect the implications of EU regulations and how many brands will likely find legislative loopholes to avoid going full scale with circular solutions.
Cédric and Resortecs are featured in chapter 3 of the book Fashion Tech Applied. Check it out.
