KG, Germany has achieved climate-neutral production since 2022 and aims for a climate-neutral supply chain by 2030. René Bethmann explains their shift from fossil-based materials to renewable carbon sources, including bio-based, CO2-based, and recycled materials. He highlights the challenges in material availability and the need for new recycling processes and new waste collection streams which can handle complex multi-component textile products.
