Evolving Textiles Conference: Materializing the Future

While all alternative fibers are welcome, the focus is on hemp, a fiber with exceeding potential and rapid development in the United States. Progress in hemp is being made across NC State University - in the Wilson College of Textiles, the College of Natural Resources, and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Day two will broaden the scope to consider all aspects of circularity within the supply chain. Topics to explore include: Life Cycle Assessment, end of life destinations, resale, mending, recycling, circular design, materials selection, stakeholders and more. We welcome industry professionals, students, professors, and the general public to register to attend this two-day, virtual conference which will highlight the sector's advances in sustainability through presentations from experts and change-makers in the industry. This will be an all-encompassing textile sustainability event.
