It all began two decades ago with an initiative - YarnsandFibers (YnFx) - to empower global textile companies with high-value textile market intelligence services. The threads of unsustainable developments in the fashion and textile industry have grown with time, propelling YnFx to become part of the solution. SustainableFashion.Earth was thus born.
SustainableFashion.Earth aims to start a dialogue and find new collaborative solutions to produce and consume sustainable textiles and fashion, creating a symbiotic relationship with our environment.
