Three Key Gaps Identified
"Design knowledge: Asian manufacturers lack the knowledge and expertise to design for circularity. Financial challenges: The transition to circularity is expensive, and Asian manufacturers are struggling to secure financing. Leadership skills: There is a lack of leadership in Asia to steer the fashion industry towards circularity."
