On this episode of Unspun, Lewis Perkins, President of the Apparel Impact Institute (Aii), sits down with Lauren, Danielle, and Catherine to discuss the genesis of circularity and what needs to change for it to advance in the fashion and home industries.

Perkins got his start with circularity when he worked at Mohawk Industries, where at the time the carpet industry was facing major backlash for their contribution to global landfill waste. Perkins brought this early experience into the fashion industry, leading the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute and Fashion Positive initiative.

Tune in to learn more about Lewis' experience in circularity, from the obstacles he’s identified to the solutions he’s contributing to, and how he looks to the young generation (@genfseries) for inspiration. ⁠
