Die Textilindustrie gehört weltweit zu den umweltschädlichsten Branchen. Probleme wie Ultra-Fast-Fashion, intransparente Produktionsketten, ethisch fragwürdige Arbeitsbedingungen und massive Umweltbelastung verschärfen sich stetig. Revario will zeigen, dass es auch anders geht: transparent, lokal produziert und mit dem kleinstmöglichen ökologischen Fussabdruck. Junge Schweizer Unternehmerinnen und Unternehmer gestalten den Wandel – mit kreativen Lösungen für eine nachhaltigere Zukunft. In der Serie «Sustainable Startups» porträtieren wir innovative Geschäftsideen, beleuchten ihren nachhaltigen Impact und geben Einblick in die Visionen der Gründerinnen und Gründer.
