The fashion and textile industry is one of the largest polluters in the world and as the industry grows, so does the negative footprint it leaves on the environment. There are innovative solutions and alternatives that help mitigate the environmental risk. This journey begins with raising awareness and with the willingness to make a change.
At TaFF, we recognise that no single individual or organisation can do this alone, and therefore we present you with an opportunity to collaborate and drive systemic changes to build a sustainable future in the world of fashion and lifestyle. We invite individuals, corporations, businesses and organizations to join us in a journey to make a positive change to the environment.
