Aid by Trade’s CmiA cotton and The Good Cashmere Standard director on providing sustainable solutions

Without a doubt, much has changed when it comes to the fashion industry's acceptance of certified raw materials such as sustainable cotton and cashmere. While initially considered ‘nice to have’, sustainable materials are now a must for many fashion companies. At the end of January, the Aid by Trade Foundation introduced the first worldwide cashmere standard. FashionUnited already talked with Tina Stridde, managing director of the Aid by Trade Foundation, about the Cotton made in Africa (CmiA) initiative back in 2016. In a second interview, she now sums up the last four years and how The Good Cashmere Standard came about.
