With words like sustainability and SDGs becoming mainstream, many people are now conscious about eco-friendly initiatives. One of the major issues we face today, "fashion waste," has garnered attention for innovative solutions. One such solution is the textile upcycling board
PANECO, made from discarded clothing fibers.
Recently, UNITED ARROWS Ltd. announced the creation of stools made from PANECO as part of their sustainability activities, "
SARROWS." These stools will be installed at 16 GREEN LABEL RELAXING stores, showcasing large corporations' commitment to sustainability.
This time, we interviewed Kazuhiro Hara, CEO of
WORKSTUDIO CORPORATION, the developer of PANECO, to discuss the unique aspects of this material and the company's environmental initiatives.
