TOWARDS CIRCULARITY
OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Weekday stands for creativity and responsibility. As a creative team, want to develop products that meet our customers’ expectations and beyond. We know our customers are savvy and that they expect a vision from us, and this motivates us to move forward.
In our minds, circularity starts with design. This is our opportunity to create relevant products that last – from recycled and sustainably sourced materials that can recirculate multiple times before being recycled into new resources.
Our design team thrive to find innovating solutions on how to create a more responsible assortment, and are supported by sustainability and material experts, buyers and others who contribute to forming Weekday’s assortment. Materials potentially helping to ‘close the loop’ are often tried in capsule collections. The learnings from these projects are used in the work towards becoming fully circular in all production processes and moving beyond materials to work with circular design strategies.
CIRCULARITY IS THE FUTURE FOR FASHION
At Weekday, we believe the future of fashion is circular, and that we must relearn how we operate to achieve this. Achieving a circular fashion economy requires radical transformation and we approach it as an exciting, as well as crucial, opportunity. We’re at a phase of acceleration, intensifying our transition to a more circular fashion business.
A circular business model keeps products and materials in continuous circulation. In the conventional linear business model — take, use, discard — resources are used to make products which are then discarded after use. In a circular model, resources stay in use for as long as possible before being converted into new products and materials, resulting in continuous circulation of valuable resources.
Weekday moves towards a circular model. We are learning to implement a circular mindset into every step of our value cycle, from designing products to enabling our customers to care for our products and eventually, to loop them back into the circle.
One important step in this journey is to use responsible materials, namely materials that are recycled or sustainably sourced. Weekday’s goal is to use 100% recycled or sustainably sourced materials by 2025. The current share is 99%.
We are 100% committed to doing better and work towards creating more circular products, and we still have a lot to learn in the area of circular design. We are moving towards a circular model by setting up goals.
