FINIX ON TWITTER
Finix works in interaction with people, businesses, NGOs and public sector.
Finix aims at broadening stakeholders’ minds into thinking holistically about the entire life cycle of textiles and changing the way we value textiles.
Current textile production and consumption come with major environmental and societal burden.
The textile industry relies on low-quality products.
The production takes immense amounts of water and land causing waste, pollution, and the loss of biodiversity and fertile farmland.
