✨ Human Material Loop – Zsofia Kollar and her team are pioneering an ethical and eco-friendly alternative to traditional fibers. By transforming waste from hair salons into durable textile fibers, they are proving that sustainability and economic growth can go hand-in-hand – offering a cruelty-free, plastic-free solution with the strength and versatility of wool.
🤖 ValueSort.AI – Founded by Bart van Gorcum, ValueSort.AI uses advanced AI recognition to revolutionize second-hand textile sorting. Their technology empowers sorters and shops to identify high-value items and streamline the sorting process based on customer demand and real-time trends. It’s all about creating a circular economy that connects directly with customers and minimizes waste.
To keep the energy high, a pub quiz will also be hosted! 🎉 Come test your knowledge and connect with others passionate about sustainable innovation.
Bonus: Both startups are on the lookout for talent! If you're ready to make an impact in sustainable fashion or AI, this is a great chance to meet them in person.
