Sinem: My passion has been built on some facts I collected over the years of work in supply chain, knowing the weaknesses and challenges of fast fashion. I decided to design my career around transforming the industry, with all the network I have around me.
Sinem: We all know that the claims and activities around sustainability are not enough, the carbon impact of fashion is still increasing and the lack of trust is becoming critical. Fashion supply chain is complex, Traceability will dilute and secure all claim and connect the dots, and we can only solve the problems, based on some real data.
Sinem: Thinking beyond material and processes, we need to have disruptive systems to really transform the textiles industry. We need to focus and integrate innovative systems, just like AWARE.
Sinem: Because it secures the whole material innovation flow and offers a new world of trust to the fashion eco- system. I am proud to be a part of this mindset and technology!
