By reducing carbon, water and waste from the clothing supply chain, organisations can minimise their exposure to resource risk or scarcity, develop fresh revenue streams and gain reputational benefits from reducing their environmental impact.
WRAP is taking action to unlock these benefits for both organisations and their supply chain.
The Sustainable Clothing Action Plan (SCAP) brings together forward-thinking organisations from across the clothing supply chain to re-invent how clothes are designed and produced; to re-think how we value clothing by extending life of clothes; and to re-define what is possible through re-use and recycling.
Developed by a steering group of major retailers, brands, recyclers, sector bodies, NGOs and charities, SCAP enables organisations at all levels of the clothing and textiles industry to work together to measure and reduce their environmental footprints.
