The founder members of the RITE GROUP are Marks & Spencer, University of Leeds, and Ecotextile News. A steering committee and advisory panel of senior industry executives from fibres through to brands is now being assembled.
The RITE Group is an industry association dedicated to Reducing the Impact of Textiles on the Environment
We aim to develop and provide advice and fact based information to reduce/minimise the negative environmental effects of the production, use and disposal of textiles and to drive forward the sustainable and ethical production of textiles and apparel throughout the global supply chain. We provide a forum for different sectors of the textile industry to share views and best practice and our success is based on the facilitation of discussions between industry, retail, academia, media, scientists, designers and government.
Our new website offers you the chance to join the RITE group and the growing community involved in sustainable textiles via our RITE-Face© supporters’ area.
The benefits don’t end there. We’ve secured discounts for conferences, trade magazines and website subscriptions and becoming a supporter gives you the chance to join our expert sector groups – the working groups that will really make a difference. Best of all, you can be assured that every penny of profit the RITE group make will be ploughed back into initiatives to reduce the impact of textiles on the environment.
