Nisha Muire, Uniform Program Manager for Air Canada and Karen Sparrow, Director for Red Sparrow Consulting, will join the webinar as guest speakers discussing the versatile applications of the Meryl Fabrics® sustainable textiles.

Stanley Russell, Owner & Director of APT Fabrics, will join the webinar to discuss the technological breakthrough in circular fabric solutions, which removes the need for water, chemicals and solvents in the textile dyeing process whilst preventing the problem of microplastic shedding.

Jamie Meigham, CEO and Co-Founder of Uplift360, will also speak on the webinar to help evaluate the price vs cost point of view in the tender process and how changing how we consider lifetime cost can help to justify spending on the quality that lasts.
