Insider Series Q&As

Each year, during the production of our Preferred Fiber & Materials Market Report and Organic Cotton Market Report, we interview stakeholders from across the global supply network to bring you unique industry insights.  

These interviews form part of Textile Exchange’s Insider Series and Membership Spotlight-online directories of past and present interviews with members and other industry insiders. These tools are currently offline while our website is undergoing transition, so our 2022 interviews are temporarily being housed here. 

In line with Textile Exchange’s 2030 Climate+ strategy, the interviews not only delve into the latest news from each project and the trends playing out in the wider organic cotton sector, but also include questions around climate, water, biodiversity, and soil health. 

We very much enjoyed learning more about the valuable work of these organizations and are sure you will too.
