Episode description
Former BBC producer Phil Berman hosts our Radio Show to find out if blockchain can be an important new tool for clothing retailers to provide real-time transparency in their supply networks when sourcing wood fibre – and even wool.
Our guests in the studio are Robert van de Kerkhof, Chief Commercial Officer at fibre maker Lenzing; Giovanni Schneider, CEO of Italian wool and cashmere processor the Schneider Group; and Amit Gautam, CEO of blockchain specialist TextileGenesis.
Listeners can find out why transparency is so important when it comes to sourcing viscose, lyocell and wool and make sure that the clothes they sell do not come from ancient and endangered forests.
