As VP Editor in Chief of BEAUTYSTREAMS, the go-to-insights platform for the global beauty industry, I'm in the unique position to push the sustainability needle forward, encouraging global beauty players - large and small - to focus on sustainable technologies and activist voicing, and to incorporate these principles into the development of their products. Rather than promoting overconsumption, we are shining the light on creativity and function, thereby contributing to a cleaner industry. Check out my book "Making Jeans Green: Linking Sustainability, Business and Fashion" - it's out now and available through my publisher's website www.routledge.com as well as on Amazon.
