Waste in fashion is a critical issue.

According to the National Environment Agency (NEA), Singapore generated 205,800 tonnes of textile and leather waste in 2019, out of which only 6% was recycled.

As part of Fashion Revolution Week 2021, Reapra, a venture builder and investment group, have teamed up with Anisa Johnny, Senior Lecturer in Fashion Marketing at the Raffles College of Higher Education, to host an interactive online workshop where participants can learn about the inefficiencies of the fashion industry and tap into Reapra's expertise in building sustainable businesses.

Learn from strategic business case studies of companies who have successfully used waste to scale sustainably, and meet other like-minded advocated for fashion sustainability. You will also take part in an 'ideathon' - a mini hackathon where you can hear the latest research in sustainable fashion, collaborate, develop and pitch new ideas to start or scale your fashion business.

Winners of the ideathon will stand to receive mentorship from Reapra and our partners!
