Material Innovation and Verification in Circular Fashion
Any brand can claim sustainable materials, but words mean nothing without third-party testing and certifications. In fact, unverified sustainability claims—even if they are valid—can often lead to suspicions of greenwashing.
Here, Min Zhu, senior director, technical services and operations, US & Canada Softlines, of global testing and certification company SGS, and Haley Gershon, marketing manager of SGS Beta (formerly Beta Analytic), a
leading Carbon-14 testing lab for biobased materials that SGS acquired in
November 2024, discuss why biobased materials need verification.
Watch the fireside chat to learn:
The current status of circular fashion and its key progresses
The journey of SGS and Beta’s combination and synergy
SGS solutions to material sustainability and circularity
How SGS collaborates with fashion brands to test and verify
biobased materials
SGS’ IMPACT NOW sustainability initiatives
