The fashion industry faces a double threat: inefficiency and environmental burden. The traditional sourcing process is slow and lacks transparency, leading to wasted time, resources and corners cut. Meanwhile, a staggering $120 billion worth of deadstock sits unused in warehouses, which normally ends up being incinerated or landfilled.
Material Exchange takes on the fashion world with their innovative Digital Sourcing Platform (DSP). The online marketplace connects brands with global suppliers directly, meaning fabric production is efficient, transparent and as sustainable as possible. What’s more, their Deadstock Depot puts unloved materials back into circulation.
