Problem Statement

The textile industry is the 2nd most polluting industry in the world. Nowadays, buying clothes is easy and fast, but behind the textile production, there is a very large machinery that impacts heavily on the environment and society.

 

Target Group

Young people under 35 years of age who consume textile products in Buenos Aires.

 

Proposed Solution

The project Modo Moda Circular seeks to raise awareness about how to consume clothes consciously and share best practices to promote a circular economy in this area as well as generate a network of ambassadors that can spread the message.
