Workwear as a circular service – a WCEF2026 accelerator session
Countdown
Event information
Workwear is essential in industry, healthcare, food production and many other workplaces. However, they do not need to follow a model where products are bought, used for a limited time and then discarded.
Join this WCEF2026 accelerator session to explore how workwear rental, professional maintenance, repair and reuse can keep garments in use for longer. Lindström experts will share practical lessons from India and our international operations, showing how circular services can reduce unnecessary production, save resources and support long-term business value.
Our speakers:
- Jayant Roy, Managing Director, Lindström India
- Manas Kumar, Director, Pharmaceuticals and Strategic Marketing and Business Development, Lindström India
- Ulla Luhtasela, Director, Sustainability at Lindström Group
