Dan Robichaud-Carew, of Unspun, Weaving Fashion's Future Manufacturing

In the second episode of this season, we get to speak with Dan Robichaud-Carew,  the Head of software and product management at Unspun, an innovative fashion tech company creating 3D weaved garments through their proprietary Vega manufacturing system. In this conversation we speak all things:

• the stagnant manufacturing industry
• what makes the fashion industry so different to other sectors
• opportunities to innovate within the industry 

The manufacturing segment of the supply chain is fragmented, and results in huge environmental and social problems. 20% of the worlds waste water is derived from textiles manufacturing, and produces large amounts of material waste from the cutting process found in traditional manufacturing. 

Unspun reduces textile waste, by enabling brands to create custom products on demand, limited overproduction and unused inventory. All while ensuring the garments end of life is accounted for. Unspun is exciting also because of the opportunity for onshoring manufacturing, reducing the need for long transportation times.  offering opportunity for onshoring and near manufacturing 

With so much waste coming from the manufacturing segment, Unspun’s technology is a sign of life for an industry stuck in the past.
