Crafting a Greener Future: Innovations in Recycled Textile Production

Recycled Textile: A Growing Industry Cashing in on Sustainable Fashion India Leading the Way in Recycling Textile Waste With the Indian textile industry generating huge amounts of post-consumer and post-industrial waste every year, the country has become a leader in recycling these discarded materials. An estimated 60% of textile waste in India is currently being recycled either by the informal sectors or small and medium enterprises. The government has also been actively promoting recycling through various policies and schemes. Several initiatives have been launched to collect, sort and process old and used garments and fibers that would otherwise end up in landfills. Due to low labor and production costs, many large international brands are also partnering with or outsourcing recycling activities to Indian companies. New Businesses Emerging Around Recycled Fibers Production Recycled fibers like recycled polyester, cotton loden and modal are fast gaining popularity as eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives to virgin materials. Indian companies are setting up large-scale recycling facilities and repurposing post-consumer textiles into new fibers that can be re-spun and re-woven. These recycled fibers are finding applications in apparel, home textiles, industrial textiles and even hygiene products. New business models are emerging where rag pickers and kabadiwalas are being integrated with recycling units as suppliers of raw materials. Several startups are also focusing on innovative recycling technologies to break down fabrics into their basic fibers and filaments for reuse. This is opening up new employment opportunities and giving old textiles a second life cycle. Garment Rental and Resale Gaining Traction With rising awareness about fast fashion's environmental costs, sustainable consumption practices like clothing rental, resale and repair are on the rise. A number of companies are launching clothing rental and resale platforms where consumers can rent designer outfits for special occasions or sell their used clothing in exchange for store credit. Digital resale platforms are making it easy to list, buy and sell pre-owned clothes. Popular international brands are also experimenting with take-back programs where old garments are refurbished or recycled. Such initiatives encourage multiple wears and extend the lifespan of clothes, keeping more material out of landfills for longer. They also open up newer customer segments interested in affordable eco-conscious options. Focus on Recycled Fabrics in Home and Workwear Segment While recycled fabrics were earlier perceived as low quality, they are now gaining widespread acceptance in application segments other than just apparel. Several companies have started marketing recycled cotton, polyester and modal-based fabrics for home textiles like curtains, towels and upholstery. These are comparable to regular fabrics in aesthetics and functionality but with the added environmental benefit. Recycled fabrics are also being widely used in industrial workwear, military and PPE clothing where durability takes priority over looks. With larger fabric manufacturers integrating recycling into their portfolio, the market for such fabrics is expanding rapidly. It is helping divert tonnes of fabric waste from the wasted stream every year. In Summary, the recycled textiles sector in India has witnessed rapid growth driven by rising awareness, technology advancements and supportive policies. With large volumes of post-consumer waste being channeled for recycling, it is evolving as a viable alternative raw material source for the textile industry. New business models are tapping opportunities spanning informal waste collectors to high-tech fiber producers. As technologies solve more complex waste sorting issues, recycled textiles appear poised to gain bigger market shares in both apparel and non-apparel applications going forward.

FIGS: Trailblazers – Heather and Trina, Redefining Style and Comfort in Healthcare Clothing and Apparel

They are deemed, recognized, acknowledged, and known as our saviors, helpers, and support systems, who are strong, resilient, hard-working, reliable, educated, intellectual, and confident human beings, who provide professional and high-quality healthcare services to us lay people, all around the world. Having taken an oath and studied vast concepts and subjects in Medicine, our Healthcare professionals are truly amazing and skilled people in whose hands we place our trust and lives. 

In other fashion and apparel industries and sectors that are present worldwide, companies, businesses, and organizations have taken into regard factors such as fashion sense, color, style, comfort, durability, and maintenance of their clothing line as a top priority. This attracts and engages customers with their brand and rakes in profits when the latter feels that they are valued and that the brand is built on the principle of providing services that showcase a customer-centric business model over the idea of just wanting to ‘make money’.  

As much as there are brands who put in the time, effort, skill, and workforce talent into specifically curating and designing clothing lines for athletes for comfort, ease, performance, action, and durability, the same concept and principle must be taken into consideration for our ‘Life-Savers’ – Our Healthcare Professionals. 

In answer to this, the following article will cover the works, story, and inspirational journey of two inspiring women entrepreneurial founders – Heather Hasson and Trina Spear who together built a company for comfortable healthcare uniforms from the ground up and have been redefining healthcare attire and comfort in the industry ever since at FIGS. 

About the Co-Founders and Entrepreneurs – Heather Hasson and Trina Spear:

The two women entrepreneurs who were inspired and motivated to start a clothing line and apparel business together for Healthcare professionals and providers, have revolutionized and redefined the Scrubs uniform that our ‘Life-Savers’ wear. 

“AWESOME HUMANS #wearfigs.”

Heather Hasson – is the Co-Founder, Co-Chief Executive Officer, and the Executive Chairwoman of FIGS. Having a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science, the co-founder worked in a board member position at RxArt for over 4 years. After this, Heather Hasson co-founded FIGS Healthcare Clothing – a retail apparel and fashion D2C brand that specializes in designing and manufacturing a clothing line of “Scrubs” in the Healthcare Industry. 

Heather was inspired to start FIGS through a huge revelation that she had one day. She had been out meeting a nurse-practitioner friend whose Scrubs looked quite uncomfortable. This was the kick-starter of her life-changing journey thereon.  

With Heather Hasson’s leadership in her managerial position at FIGS, she stands as a strong inspiration to provide quality, care, support, concern, and steadfast passion towards designing Scrubs for comfortable and stylish wear by our ‘Life-Savers’. Having been named the ‘100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs’ in Goldman Sachs consecutively in 2018 and 2019, as well as being awarded the ‘Innovation Award’ by the RxArt Foundation in 2019, the co-founder has achieved many more awards and recognitions in the USA for her accomplishments and efforts. 

“Healthcare professionals are the ones inventing and creating our future………..we believe that we can fulfil our duty to enrich the lives of healthcare professionals and elevate their everyday experience…..” – Heather Hasson – Co-Founder, Co-Chief Executive Officer, and the Executive Chairwoman. 

FIGS’ Tagline – “Why wear Scrubs, when you can #wearFIGS?”

Trina Spear – is the Co-Founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer at FIGS Healthcare Clothing, along with Heather Hasson. Trina Spear has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics and an MBA from Harvard. Having quite an experience working as an Associate in Blackstone Group (an investment business and company) as well as 4 years in Citigroup’s Investment Banking and Private Equity Divisions. 

“Our commitment at FIGS is to transform what it means to be a healthcare professional.” – Trina Spear –  Co-Founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer.

Together with her partner at FIGS – Heather Hasson, Trina Spear was named the ‘100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs’ in Goldman Sachs consecutively in 2018 and 2019, and ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ by Ernst and Young in 2018.

About the Comapany – FIGS:

Founded in the year 2013 and established in Santa Monica, California, in The United States of America. Heather Hasson and Trina Spear are the two women co-founders who have founded this company together on their entrepreneurial mission to serve healthcare professionals and providers with the best service in apparel. FIGS was recognized and ranked number 21 in ‘Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 5000 Ranking’ for being the fastest growing companies in the nation in 2018. Figs is a Direct-to-Customer (D2C) business model and brand that designs and manufactures with advanced technological innovation alongside the healthcare Industry to provide its professionals with stylish medical Scrubs that are of good quality, soft, and premium fabrics that are stitched for individual’s comfort, performance, action, durability, style, fashion, and maintenance. The proprietary Scrubs material that is used by FIGS in the designing and manufacturing process in apparel for both men and women is FIONx Technology. This technology provides the following features – wrinkle-free fabric material, integrates the 4-way stretch for better durability and active wear, soft, and quick-drying. 

Mission Statement of FIGS – “Improving the experience of being a healthcare worker advocating for their health, safety, and hapiness at work is an essential part of our mission.”

In the healthcare apparel innovation of the Medical sector, it is understandably and quite frankly very important for our ‘Life-Savers’ to perform and carry out their duties efficiently and effectively. Especially when working 24/7 and 365 days of the year, it is very essential for our healthcare professionals and providers to be able to move and wear attire that is comfortable, which makes them feel at ease, and which does not deter but rather helps in increasing and improving their work performance. 

The FIGS App is also a downloadable application on smartphones for people to have easy access and use of checking out the collections that are being dropped everyday. A movement called ‘Threads for Threads’ is also an inspiring initiative taken up by the two co-founders so that they can ‘give back’ to the community and the people by providing and distributing Scrubs for healthcare professionals and providers in a timely and hygienic fashion. Heather Hasson and Trina Spear have proved time and time again that their brand- FIGS is more than just a uniform by also a form and kind of self-identity, safety, and unity.

The Rollercoaster Ride of Myntra Share Price: A Comprehensive Analysis

Introduction to Myntra Share Price:

Myntra, a leading e-commerce platform in India, has been a significant player in the country's online retail space. As with any publicly traded company, its share price has experienced its fair share of fluctuations, influenced by a myriad of factors ranging from market dynamics to internal business strategies. This article delves into the intricate journey of Myntra Share Price, examining the key events, market trends, and strategic decisions that have shaped its trajectory.

Historical Context onn Myntra Stock Price:

To understand Myntra Share Price journey, it's crucial to glance back at the historical context of the company. Founded in 2007 by Mukesh Bansal, Ashutosh Lawania, and Vineet Saxena, Myntra initially focused on personalized gift items before pivoting to the online fashion retail sector. Over the years, it has evolved into a comprehensive fashion and lifestyle e-commerce platform, offering a wide range of products from apparel to accessories.

Myntra's early growth was notable, attracting attention from investors and consumers alike. In 2014, it was acquired by Flipkart, one of India's largest e-commerce players, in a deal valued at around $330 million. This strategic move allowed Myntra to leverage Flipkart's resources and infrastructure, enhancing its market reach and operational efficiency.

The Myntra IPO Buzz:

The buzz surrounding Myntra's potential initial public offering (IPO) began gaining momentum as the Indian e-commerce sector continued to flourish. Investors were keenly watching the developments, expecting a successful IPO given the company's strong market presence and the overall positive sentiment towards the e-commerce industry.

In 2021, Myntra's parent company, Flipkart, was reported to be considering an IPO for the subsidiary. This announcement stirred the market, and analysts started closely monitoring Myntra's performance as it would significantly impact Flipkart's valuation ahead of the IPO.

Market Trends and Challenges:

While Myntra has witnessed impressive growth, the e-commerce sector is not without its challenges. Intense competition, changing consumer preferences, and the evolving regulatory landscape are factors that can influence market dynamics and subsequently impact share prices.

One notable trend affecting Myntra and other e-commerce players is the growing prominence of omni-channel retail. With consumers seeking a seamless shopping experience both online and offline, Myntra has had to adapt its strategies to stay ahead in the competitive landscape. This transition, though necessary for long-term sustainability, can initially pose challenges and impact investor sentiment.

The Impact of Regulatory Changes:

The regulatory environment in India has also played a role in shaping Myntra Share Price trajectory. The Indian government has implemented various policies and regulations to govern the e-commerce sector, with a focus on consumer protection and fair competition.

In 2019, the government introduced new e-commerce rules aimed at preventing anti-competitive practices and ensuring a level playing field for all market participants. These rules prohibited e-commerce platforms from holding exclusive tie-ups with sellers and imposed restrictions on the sale of products from companies in which the e-commerce entity has a stake.

While such regulations are intended to foster fair competition, they can impact the business models of e-commerce platforms, including Myntra. Investors closely monitor regulatory developments, as changes in the legal landscape can have a direct bearing on the company's operations and, consequently, Myntra Share Price.

Pandemic-Driven Dynamics:

The COVID-19 pandemic has undeniably altered consumer behavior and reshaped the retail landscape. With lockdowns and social distancing measures in place, there was a surge in online shopping, benefitting e-commerce platforms like Myntra. However, the pandemic also brought its set of challenges, including disruptions in the supply chain and shifts in consumer spending patterns.

Myntra, like many other companies, had to adapt swiftly to the changing market dynamics during the pandemic. The ability to navigate these challenges and capitalize on the increased demand for online shopping influenced investor confidence and, subsequently, Myntra Stock Price.

Strategic Initiatives:

Myntra has implemented several strategic initiatives to stay competitive and adapt to the evolving market. These include collaborations with prominent fashion brands, the introduction of innovative technologies such as augmented reality for virtual try-ons, and investments in marketing campaigns to enhance brand visibility.

Furthermore, Myntra's focus on sustainability and ethical practices in the fashion industry has resonated well with a growing segment of environmentally conscious consumers. The company's commitment to responsible business practices has not only positively influenced its brand image but has also contributed to its long-term viability in a market increasingly concerned with sustainability.

Investor Sentiment and Analyst Recommendations:

Investor sentiment plays a pivotal role in determining share prices. Positive financial results, strategic partnerships, and effective communication from the company's leadership can boost investor confidence. Conversely, negative developments, regulatory challenges, or operational setbacks can lead to a decline in sentiment and, subsequently, the share price.

Analysts' recommendations and target prices also contribute to shaping investor sentiment. Financial analysts closely monitor Myntra's performance, conduct in-depth analyses, and provide recommendations based on their assessments of the company's future prospects. These recommendations can influence the decisions of institutional and retail investors, impacting trading volumes and share prices.

Conclusion:

Myntra Share Price journey reflects the dynamic nature of the e-commerce sector and the broader retail industry in India. From its early days as a start-up to becoming a key player in online fashion retail, Myntra has navigated various challenges and opportunities. The interplay of market trends, regulatory changes, strategic decisions, and global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to the fluctuations in its share price. As Myntra continues to evolve and adapt to the ever-changing market dynamics, investors will closely monitor its performance and prospects. The success of its potential IPO, market competition, regulatory developments, and the company's ability to innovate will be critical factors influencing Myntra Share Price in the coming years. In this rollercoaster ride of market volatility, only time will reveal the twists and turns that lie ahead for Myntra and its shareholders.

SOLD! Shakes Up Live Commerce: How a Polish Startup is Redefining Real-Time Shopping

Where it all started... During the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread lockdowns, so-called live shopping gained extraordinary popularity, especially on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Despite their wide reach, the portals on which the "lives" were conducted lacked the proper infrastructure for "live" trading. Despite the fact that this method of sales is rather associated with innovation, the main fiddle in the administrative part was not played by advanced interfaces, but by paper and pen, on which successive orders placed by viewers were written down. This often resulted in chaos, which on the one hand led to many amusing situations, but on the other hand, posed a serious challenge for small businesses, especially in the apparel industry, where unpaid and unclaimed orders often began to threaten the financial stability of companies. SOLD! - A modern solution to the challenges of live shopping In response to these challenges, an idea for an app that will streamline the live shopping process was developed. The founders of the SOLD! app promise to automate sales during live commerce sessions, allowing sellers to focus on what matters most - selling effectively and providing valuable content for buyers. SOLD! will be distinguished by advanced features that are expected to be an integral part of live shopping. The app will offer a variety of instant payment options: from card payment, to various mobile payment methods such as Apple Pay, and Google Pay. This functionality will affect the buying process, making it smooth and seamless, thus enabling buyers to make immediate purchases during the live sales event. This is also a major plus for sellers - as the problem associated with buyers "reserving" goods and ghosting will be solved. In addition, SOLD! will offer even more functionality familiar from e-commerce, but previously unavailable on the social media platforms used for live events, such as the ability to track orders in real time, and a rating and review system for both items and sellers. Global trends and market outlook for SOLD! SOLD! is part of the global trend of live shopping, which is growing particularly rapidly in Asian markets. The application has ambitions to replicate this success in European markets, offering a unique combination of live interactivity and advanced features typical of standard eCommerce. The founders of SOLD! believe that in doing so they will respond to growing consumer expectations for a more engaged and immersive shopping experience. Polish live commerce app SOLD! available soon! The founders of SOLD! plan to release apps for iOS and Android mobile platforms later this year. SOLD! promises to be accessible to small local businesses, large online stores and even individual retailers alike. The app's development, supported by co-financing from European Funds, underscores its innovative potential in the retail sector. SOLD! a new player in the live commerce world SOLD! faces the opportunity to revolutionize the live shopping landscape in Europe, and the world, addressing the shortcomings of traditional sales methods and introducing user-friendly features. With the automation of the live shopping process, a variety of payment options, reviews, and the ability to track order shipments, the SOLD! has the chance to redefine online retailing in Poland and the European market, opening a new era in the digital shopping experience.

"Pedal in Style: The Fashion Revolution on Two Wheels"

Cycling apparel is a classic look that is becoming more and more popular in the quick-changing world of fashion. The cycling fashion trend is sweeping the streets, mixing style and usefulness, whether you're an avid rider or just getting started. Fashion designers are pedaling their way into producing collections that effortlessly blend performance and style as more people embrace the healthy and environmentally responsible lifestyle that cycling provides.

The days of wearing only spandex and vibrant colors when riding a bike are long gone. Modern cycling apparel has changed to accommodate a wide range of preferences, giving cyclists the opportunity to show their uniqueness while riding two wheels. Everybody may find something they like in the cycling fashion scene, from commuters in cities to mountain bike fanatics.

Fashion meets functionality.

The dedication to utility in cycling fashion is one of its distinguishing characteristics. Comfortable riding is ensured by technical fabrics, moisture-wicking materials, and streamlined designs. To produce clothing that improves performance while keeping a stylish edge, brands are spending money on R&D.

A cycling outfit must include essentials like moisture-wicking socks, padded shorts, and breathable jerseys. Not only do these clothes make long trips more comfortable, but they also include creative patterns and motifs. Now that there is a wider selection of colors and designs available, cyclists can stand out on the road.

Adding details to the ride

The key to upping your game in bike fashion is accessories. The humble safety helmet has evolved into a fashion accessory, with companies producing sleek, aerodynamic models in a range of hues. Cycling-specific sunglasses not only shield the eyes from UV rays but also elevate the overall appearance.

Cycling gloves, with their elaborate patterns and vivid colors, have become a canvas for artistic expression. These gloves improve the whole riding experience by offering vital protection and grip, in addition to being aesthetically pleasing.

Chic Urban Cycling

For commuters who ride urban bikes, riding is a way of life rather than merely a mode of transportation. Designer labels are leveraging this trend by producing bicycle clothes that are appropriate for urban environments. Customized coats with luminous accents, fashionable totes with designated helmet pockets, and adaptable shoes that go from bike pedals to pavements in cities are all growing in popularity.

Eco-Friendly Cycling Clothing

The globe is adopting sustainable techniques, and cycling fashion is no exception. Organic cotton and recycled textiles are two examples of eco-friendly materials that brands are using in their collections. In the cycling fashion sector, upcycling discarded bike tubes into chic accessories and designing clothing lines with less environmental impact are becoming commonplace.

In summary, bike fashion has evolved beyond its practical foundations to become a vibrant and expressive field of design. The way that cycling equipment combines style and usefulness is a testament to how the fashion industry is changing, whether you're riding through cities or up mountains. Now, cycle with flair and let your clothing capture the sense of adventure that comes with living a two-wheeled existence.

The Value of Sustainable Development Programs towards Business Development

When I first encountered the Sustainable Development Goals, or SDG, I instantly developed my appreciation for them as I see them as the guiding compass and invitation to drive all initiatives towards global progress. What makes them even more remarkable for me is their ability to encompass not only non-profit endeavors like those led by the UN, but also their significant impact on for-profit efforts. I am genuinely excited to witness the fruits of the SDG in the coming years, knowing that they are designed to address all possible gaps, known issues, and challenges. My hope is that they will create a profound and lasting impact on poverty, development and well-being.

As an advocate of sustainable development, I am particularly interested in exploring how these goals motivate and inspire innovative solutions from the private sector. As businesses align themselves with SDG, they commit to shape their products and services to the changes brought about in health, education, environment and others. They can also tap into new markets and consumer segments. In fact, over the past years, I have been a witness to an inspiring trend of companies embracing sustainability as a central pillar of their core strategy. This notable shift towards more responsible and environmentally conscious practices has been both remarkable and encouraging to everyone. I have observed these initiatives across a wide spectrum of products, ranging from consumables such as food items to toiletries like skincare products, and even extending to the apparel industry and many others. Being a conscious consumer who is well-informed about the SDGs that obviously started to create impact in our world, I naturally lean towards supporting the companies that have actively participated in this positive shift towards sustainability.

Choosing products that align with the SDG not only makes me feel good about my purchases but also empowers me to be a part of a larger global movement towards a more sustainable and equitable world. Certainly, this is a feeling shared among other consumers, as well. Knowing my choices can contribute to fostering positive social and environmental impacts, even if it is in small ways, is gratifying.

Companies are also seen to be innovative. They develop new technologies, products and services, and even business models. As research is strengthened, employees are also equipped with relevant capacity building. Something that I wonder about is how these fast- paced transformational approaches impact the company finances. 

Company Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR efforts are also evident. I often encounter events that support corporate policies for the benefit of the environment such as ocean clean up and tree planting. Some companies commit to supporting the annual Brigada Eskwela and feeding programs all over the country. All these programs are not left unseen by the stakeholders. First, by their communities and consumers who are the participants in these efforts. Next, by the workforce, especially the employees who are increasingly concerned about societal and environmental issues. In my observation, these are the younger generation. And finally, by the investors who are probably also on the lookout for the adherence to the SDGs. 

When businesses all operate towards aligned goals, partnerships and collaborations both in the private sector and in government are most likely to be established. These collaborations tackle issues that go beyond their individual capacities, creating a more conducive environment for sustainable business development.

My sincere hope is that the SDGs become ingrained in the everyday vocabulary of companies, so much so that they become an integral part of their strategies and ways of working. Imagine a world where businesses see SDGs as guiding principles for decision-making at every level, they will proactively seek ways to align their operations with these goals, considering not only profit but also their global responsibilities.
