According to the World Economic Forum, more than 50% of the world’s GDP (Gross World Product) is moderately or highly dependent on nature and its valuable ecosystems. At the same time the production of fashion and textile products is known for its devastating impacts on our global ecosystems. We talked to Chandra Prakash, founder of Fashion For Biodiversity Solutions GmbH, and found out how state-of-the-art methods such as space technology can support companies of all sizes to protect biodiversity by optimizing their supply chains. https://lnkd.in/dn5_H77R #texpertisenetwork #fashionindustry #biodiversity #sustainabletextiles #textileindustry
