About our management
Who steers what at Flanders Circular?
Of the billions of fashion items produced each year, most end up in landfills or incinerators within the year. Fast fashion deliberately creates items with a short lifespan. It is not about quality, but quantity. This makes the fashion industry, after the oil industry, the most polluting in the world.
Colorful, printed and recyclable
Belgian label YOYA. wants to change that with its colorful, 3D printed earrings. Because the earrings are printed, the lead time from order to product remains relatively short and no large inventory is needed. Each pair is produced only after an order is received. An additional advantage of 3D printing is that production can be done in-house, which reduces CO2 emissions from transportation.
Each part of the earrings can also be recycled. Each pair has a unique code attached to it, so as a customer you can return your earrings for recycling at any time for free!
