Ellen MacArthur and Stella McCartney co-hosted the launch of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s report, "A new textiles economy: Redesigning fashion's future." The report urges the fashion industry to adopt a new vision and foster cross-industry collaborations to achieve it.

Every second, a garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned, resulting in an estimated USD 500 billion loss annually. By 2050, the industry could consume a quarter of the world's carbon budget.
