What does it take to turn material innovation into real change?

At the Material Innovation in Fashion: From Lab to Market panel at the Future of Sustainable Fashion summit, one message came through clearly: creating a new material is only the first step. And it's already happening.

The challenge is getting innovative materials into mainstream fashion, which means:

🧵 Brands committing to buying and using them at scale
💡 Designing solutions that work commercially, not just technically
🏭 Building the infrastructure needed to increase production
🤝 Bringing innovators, brands and investors together

The innovation is here. Now we need to help it scale. 📈

A huge thank you to our speakers:
🪶 James West, Co-Founder of FEVVERS, who develops plant-based alternatives to feathers
♻️ Genia Mineeva, Founder of BEEN London, who upcycles materials that would otherwise be discarded into fashion pieces
🧬 Jen Keane, Co-Founder & CEO of Modern Synthesis, who develops new bio-based materials that can replace petrochemical-based materials
🎨 Sophie Vaud, CTO at Colorifix, who uses biology to produce, deposit and fix pigments onto textiles in place of conventional chemical dyeing processes..for such an honest and thought-provoking conversation. It was a brilliant reminder of just how much creativity and ingenuity exists within this industry.

At Earthfest: Community Day, we were delighted to welcome David Shukman and Professor Mark Maslin for a special book signing, giving visitors the chance to meet the experts and take home a little more climate knowledge to add to their bookshelf. 📚

🔥 First up was David Shukman’s The Response: A Story of Fire and Flood in Britain’s New World of Extremes - a gripping look at the climate extremes already happening on our doorstep, from wildfires and floods to record-breaking heat, and what we can do to better prepare for what’s ahead.

🌍 Also available was Mark Maslin’s Climate Change: Essential Guide to Science, Politics and Solutions - an accessible guide to the science behind climate change, the politics shaping our response, and the solutions that could help build a more sustainable future.

And, of course, we were lucky enough to hear from both David and Mark earlier in the day in our Fireside Chat: Searching for Solutions in a World of Extremes, where they shared their expertise and ideas on navigating a rapidly changing world.

🎤 David Shukman is an acclaimed environmental journalist, author and the BBC’s first Science Editor, who spent nearly two decades leading its environmental coverage.

🔬 Professor Mark Maslin is a leading Earth system scientist at UCL, specialising in climate change, its impacts and the solutions we need to tackle it.

🎬 On Earthfest: Community Day, we were incredibly lucky to premiere Who If Not Us, a moving new documentary following two young Pakistani climate activists and shining a light on the vital role women and young people play in responding to the climate crisis.

💬 And then we got to hear more behind the film - Director Nyal Mueenuddin joined us for a special Q&A.

It was one of those moments at Community Day that really made you stop, listen and feel - a reminder that climate change isn't just about numbers and headlines, but about people, communities and resilience🌍

A huge thank you to .mueen and the whole Voices from the Roof of the World team for bringing this important story to Earthfest and sharing it with our community. Thank you also to everybody who watched, asked questions and contributed to this urgent conversation.

🌎 At Earthfest: Community Day, our workshops were a true highlight. They gave attendees a chance not just learn something new, but also to connect with the planet and with each other.

🌿 Mindful Movement - helped us slow down, reconnect with nature and ourselves, and explore how mindful movement can help us feel more grounded.

🍵 Herbal Tea Blending - took us on a journey through the wonderful world of herbs, with everyone getting to blend their own herbal tea bags to take home.

♻️ Reusing Plastics - showed us that our soft plastic waste doesn't have to go straight in the bin, as we turned old packaging into colourful, personalised keychains.

🤝 Reimagining Soil - got us thinking about soil in a whole new way, exploring this incredible living material through hands-on activities, creativity and conversation.

A huge thank you to Kerry, Hackney Herbal, Looply Design Studio and Lillie for bringing your brilliant workshops to Earthfest - and to everyone who came along, got stuck in and made them so much fun! 💚

🌍Today is Earth Overshoot Day.⁠

This year, humanity is using nature 73% faster than Earth can regenerate it - equivalent to living as if we had 1.73 Earths.⁠

New analysis from Global Footprint Network and Greenings also highlights a major gap: countries are still not meaningfully planning for ecological overshoot as an economic and resource-security risk.⁠

At Earthfest, one thing was clear: the solutions are already out there - from cleaner transport and energy to circular fashion, nature restoration and more sustainable ways of creating, producing and living.⁠

The challenge now is mobilising to take those solutions further and faster. When we share ideas and align on our actions, together we can 🌱⁠

At our Future of Transport & Energy Summit, we brought together experts to explore "The Role of Autonomous Vehicles in Decarbonising Transport".

Alexandra Wyard (H-C Borgnis), Director of Product & Proposition at Allianz UK, joined PAVE Europe's Lukas Neckermann and Odysse's Anant Prakesh for a fireside chat on "The Role of Autonomous Vehicles in Decarbonising Transport."

We're incredibly grateful to Alexandra for bringing her expertise to the discussion, and to Allianz UK for their partnership and commitment to supporting the conversations that will help shape a safer, smarter and more sustainable transport future.
