As we navigate the ever-evolving world of business, one thing is crystal clear: the time for sustainable business is now, especially in the fashion industry. I've seen too many businesses delay the transition to more sustainable materials or adopting a circular economy model. This isn't just about missed opportunities; it’s about falling behind in a rapidly evolving market. In the book 'Real Circularity,' and through my teachings at the Real Circularity Academy, I emphasize the importance of action, and implementation of strategic change. https://academy.reacircularity.com Let me guide you through assessing your business and implementing quick-win sustainable practices. Together, let's ensure your fashion brand is not just keeping pace but setting the pace in sustainability. #sustainability #sustainablefashion #sustainablebusiness

The right to be in business is given to a business by society. To retain the right to be in business it is necessary to meet all applicable legislation and regulations and to retain the trust of society that the business is operating in the best interests of society. This brings in a moral and ethical element to business sustainability. Join the Circular Economy Community created for business leaders to network, share, learn and make changes to implement sustainable circular economic models in your business. #sustainability #sustainablebusiness #circulareconomy #economiacircular #circulareconomycommunity https://circulareconomycourses.com/sustainability/business-sustainability/

Tricia held various commercial management positions at Lenzing Fibers to establish the TENCEL™ brand, build mill partners and set retailer specifications. Tricia is an advocate for innovation and circularity in the textile and apparel industry. She recently joined Renewcell to accelerate the commercial development of Circulose®, making fashion circular. Founded by innovators from Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology in 2012, Re:NewCell AB (‘Renewcell’) is a multi-award-winning sustaintech company based in Sweden. The company’s vision is to make fashion circular. Through its patented process, Renewcell is able to recycle cellulosic textile waste, such as worn-out cotton clothes and production scraps, transforming it into a pristine new material called Circulose®. It's good to see companies helping to fill the gaps in the reverse logistics needed to implement a sustainable circular economy.

In this podcast episode I welcome Josh Ziegelbaum, Director of Investor Relations for Legacy Group to talk about a new roasted coffee brand called Abira, recently launched in the USA. Listen in as we talk about the sustainably circular business practices that Green Coffee Company (GCC) is pioneering in Colombia. Currently in a $100 Million Series C funding round, anticipating an 11X return on investment, GCC practices digital agronomy, has a very large tree planting program, is innovating with social, personal and professional advancement services for employees that significantly exceed norms in the industry. In addition to planning its own U.S. based roastery, GCC also has plans to reutilize coffee waste to produce a whole new, value-added product stream making alcohol. People often ask me how to contribute to a more sustainably circular world. One important way is to apply your own personal discretionary spending to brands and companies who are 'doing the right thing'. I've switched my coffee purchases from a well-known maker of brewing machines and single brew disposable plastic pods to support this new Abira brand from Green Coffee Company in Colombia demonstrating more sustaining economic, environmental and social practices. Below is the Abira coffee website link and promotional codes for Circularity Edge podcast listeners to buy coffee in the USA. Vote with your purchases and show companies that "We Prefer More Sustaining Brands"! https://abiracoffee.com Discount codes at checkout: ABIRABUY1GET1 - For individual purchases FIRST3FREE - For subscribers to an auto-ship plan Legacy Group contact information is: https://legacy-group.co/ investor.relations@legacy-group.co Note: This podcast is NOT an endorsement or solicitation to invest. Any forward-looking statements made are not guarantees of performance or results. Listeners are encouraged to do their own due diligence before considering any investments.

Conventional sustainability approaches have failed after 35 years to fulfil the promise of the concept in businesses. Now, new business models, multidimensional maps and digital tools are being created to guide individual businesses and business organizations like Trade Associations and Chambers of Commerce to become sustainably circular.
