Upcycled fashion is becoming more and more common strategy for many sustainable fashion brands but there are many differences in the supply chain between fashion & jewelry especially when talking about upcycling.
The next part was emphasizing the opportunities for change when focusing on upcycled jewelry and how they are translated into actions.

Sourcing is a big part of developing upcycled items and this can be built on materials from many channels while also increasing some challenges that were discussed.
During the webinar different upcycled jewelry examples were presented and how they communicate their upcycled jewelry story.
