REST is a B2B data platform that improves the traceability and transparency of Tier 3 and Tier 4 silk production. Suppliers are pre-verified before joining the platform, where real-time data on resource use, chemical inputs, wages, financial performance, and working conditions is collected and verified through third-party audits. REST analyses this data to provide improvement plans, helping connect sustainable suppliers and brands. The platform enables greater transparency and traceability at a lower cost, supports the prevention of greenwashing, and provides consumers with credible and accessible information.

GrowCirc is an innovative children’s footwear brand designed to address the environmental and economic challenges associated with rapidly outgrown shoes. Built on the principles of circular design, the footwear features an adjustable and removable insole system that adapts as children grow, extending product lifespan and reducing waste. Made from recyclable and recycled materials, GrowCirc also offers lifetime repair support and a take-back programme for recycling or resale. The project aims to reduce material waste while promoting a more sustainable and circular approach to children’s footwear.
