Why 3D printed fashion is more sustainable and can revolutionize the fashion industry?

I had a great and inspiring time preparing for my talk at BBC 100women conference. I was confronted again with staggering stats about the current dire situation of the fashion industry and its impact on the world and in particular with regards to women.

I learned, for example, that only 1% of fashion garments today are recycled - the rest end up burned or in landfills. In the US alone, 15 million tons of clothes are thrown away every year! And the working conditions are women producing our clothes are oftentimes very difficult.

I believe that to solve this challenge we need to make massive changes in the way we manufacture our clothes. We can’t just optimize our current process or make small changes along the manufacturing process. I think we need to hit the reset button and look for technological solutions like 3D printed fashion or other alternatives that can change fashion and make it circular by design.

Thank you again @bbc100women for this incredible opportunity that allows me to explain my vision and the potential power of 3D printed fashion.

I would love to know what do you think about this vision!! Feel free to contact me with any intelligent comments :) [email protected] or find me on Instagram @danitpeleg3d.
