Problem
Fashion industry professionals lack a centralized, vetted resource for identifying circular solutions, materials, and technologies that can help them transition toward more sustainable practices.

Solution
Sustain20 operates a free-to-use, searchable directory that centralizes circular solutions specifically for the fashion sector. The platform enables users to explore solutions by category, apply filters, and view results in list or map format, as well as compare multiple solutions side by side. Any individual or organization can submit a circular solution for inclusion on the platform, expanding the directory through community contributions. The site also offers a SUSTAIN20™ Framework to guide circular fashion brand principles and a newsletter for ongoing updates on circular developments.
