Transforming Textile Waste into Sustainable Solutions
A circular alliance of brands, NGOs, universities and manufacturers driving textile sustainability for a greener future.
Welcome to Forebode, where we tackle the impending disaster of textile waste head-on. As a circular design consultancy in Textile and Fashion, we are driven by a team of industry professionals, designers, activists, and academics with a common goal: to reduce textile waste in Europe and keep it within the borders of the EU
Result-oriented collaborations to prevent textile waste pollution
As industry professionals, we intimately understand the challenges and pains that brands face, and we have a track record of providing practical, successful solutions. Our approach encompasses the entire lifecycle of your business, from design and production to post-production and end-of-life considerations. We tailor our services to address the specific waste problems of your brand. Forebode is beyond average consultancy, we take on the role of project managers with comprehensive knowledge of the fashion business inside out.
Minimise, Upcycle, and Recycle
At Forebode, we embrace the MUR principle, which stands for Minimise, Upcycle, and Recycle. Circular design is a collaborative and community-driven approach, allowing us to create value through partnerships and educational initiatives. We believe that recycling should be the last resort and only if the previous principles have been integrated into production processes, emphasizing efficient closed-loop production and local solutions.
Making circularity a reality
Our unique approach involves engaging researchers, students, textile manufacturers, brands, and textile sorting facilities in building sustainable solutions that benefit all. By minimising waste on the production stages, finding alternative applications for materials and promoting responsible recycling, we aim to pave the way towards a circular and sustainable future in the textile and fashion industry.
