Meet the startups selected for Fashion for Good’s 4th accelerator program

Starting today, 12 new startups will join Fashion for Good’s Plug and Play Accelerator Programme, which provides them with a push to scale-up their businesses, including a twelve-week curriculum and mentorship from Adidas, C&A, Galeries Lafayette, Kering, PVH, Target and Zalando.

The fourth batch of startups to be backed by Fashion for Good includes:

Green Whisper, a company focusing on banana fibre products;

Nowner, an online platform which enables brands to run their own renting platforms for customers;

Reflaunt a technology that allows customers to re-sell, donate or recycle their wardrobes;

reGain, an app which rewards consumers with discounts and coupon codes every time they send clothes for recycling;

Stuffstr, a company which partners with fashion retailers to buy back unwanted products and update consumers on the current resale value of their items;

TrusTrace, which provides a scalable digital platform for measuring, monitoring and communicating various activities in the supply chain;

The Vienna Textile Lab, a company which fabricates organic dyes from naturally occuring bacteria -- a process that emits less carbon than traditional dyes;
