Teemill Tour with Sofia Voudourglou
Teemill is the world’s first open-access circular supply chain. Based on the Isle of Wight in the UK, they started small but with a big ambition: to redesign the clothing industry and end waste. Using natural materials, renewable energy and designing every product to come back to be remade meant building new technology to make a circular economy model possible. In this CE story, Sofia Voudourglou, Communications & Marketing Officer, takes us through the product journey at their factory in East Cowes demonstrating how circularity has been thought about at every stage.
