Every second, a truck full of clothing is either burned or buried in landfill. The fashion industry is currently the second largest polluter in the world, and this creates major problems for our planet.
We’re here to disrupt the clothing industry. We’ve designed a solution that allows us to create products the right way, aligned with nature, using renewable energy and organic materials. These products then come back to us when they’re worn out so we can make new products, again and again. We use technology to open this up to brands and businesses across the world so that we can move the needle on sustainable, positive change.
As a result of our continued growth, we’re now seeking a Junior Business Development Executive. As a Junior Business Development Executive, you will assist in developing and growing new and existing business.
