Nina Marenzi on Launching & Scaling The Future of Fabrics Fair & The Sustainable Angle

The Sustainable Angle was established By Nina as a not-for-profit organisation in Switzerland in 2010 to initiate and support projects that lower the environmental impact of industry and society. The fashion and textile industries are amongst the world's most polluting industries, and as such, they have become the main focus of Nina's work. The Future Fabrics Expo was initiated to effect positive change within the industry by connecting and promoting innovators and suppliers of sustainable materials with fashion brands. To achieve this, they established a set of criteria, and researching sustainable materials that meet them became their main task. The Sustainable Angle contextualises this activity by providing much-needed educational information regarding sustainability in textiles, via workshops and informative events. In today's episode, Stephanie chats with Nina Marenzi, the Founder and Director, about the decisions that led her to start her not-for-profit, the challenges she faced along the way, her plans for the future, her top tips, and more.
