Pioneering change in the fashion industry

The Manufy team is dedicated to driving meaningful change, particularly within the fashion industry. Since the start of Manufy in 2020, we’ve connected fashion brands with manufacturers and sustainable production partners, revealing the industry’s readiness for disruption. However, the right tools and support are essential for this transformation.

At the start of 2024, Manufy became part of Circular Innovations BV, marking a pivotal moment in our journey. Together, we are committed to making tangible changes for fashion brands. Founders Nout Knabben and Rene van Doren of Circular Innovations BV have envisioned a future where knowledge, techniques, and strategies are accessible to all fashion companies. Our B2B platform now provides the essential tools to initiate, implement, and track sustainability and circularity strategies, steering fashion brands toward a brighter future.

Since early 2024, we have successfully assisted numerous fashion brands in creating positive operational changes. Our combined efforts are not just about envisioning a sustainable future but actively building it. Join us in revolutionizing the fashion industry for a sustainable and circular future.

Fashion industry challenges

Significicant polluter

The fashion industry is contributing to nearly 20% of global clean water pollution and about 10% of global carbon emissions. Beyond, the industry also generates enormous waste, with a mere 1% of used clothes being recycled. This problem is exacerbated by the fast fashion trend, which encourages rapid production and disposal of clothing.

New EU regulations

The importance of addressing the fashion industry’s environmental impact has never been greater. The EU is taking decisive action against waste and pollution, aiming to achieve a circular economy by 2050. This ambitious goal includes implementing new ecodesign requirements for textiles, providing clearer product information, introducing a Digital Product Passport, and urging companies to minimize their carbon and environmental footprints.

Our mission

Navigating the transition towards circularity can be confusing, and that is exactly where we come in. Our mission is to revolutionize the fashion industry by guiding businesses of all sizes, step by step, towards a circular business model that seamlessly blends sustainability with innovation. By embracing this model, we can help reduce waste, lower emissions, and create a more sustainable future for fashion. We offer a comprehensive hub where you can find all the necessary partners to transition smoothly and become a circular frontrunner.
