Denim has so much potential for circularity, you ‘just’ have to know where to start. With an interactive workshop led by Sina Steidinger, a seasoned circular design expert, in collaboration with Coachman Training, we show you how.

This session is a hands-on journey into the heart of sustainable fashion, tailored for fashion designers, product developers, creative buyers, fashion students and small fashion business owners. Whether you’re just starting your circular journey or looking to deepen your understanding, this workshop is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools to make impactful changes in your denim collections.

As a participant you will engage in practical exercises and evaluate the sustainability of alternative materials and processes for your brand. You’ll also gain valuable insights into the hurdles and opportunities designers and developers face in creating circular garments, that are not only physically and emotionally durable, but can also be designed to be disassembled and recycled after their use phase.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a clear understanding of the DOs and DON’Ts of circular product design, with a playful exercise to identify the toughest and easiest practices to implement.

The workshop also offers a unique opportunity to discuss how to incorporate these learnings into your ongoing sustainability projects and to set actionable goals for the next week, the next collection, and the next two years.

Key Takeaways:

• Identify the main challenges in implementing circularity in your denim collection
• Discover opportunities to improve circularity in designing jeans and creating the supply chain
