Public Affairs US Policy MET

The objective of the MET is to:

Gather member expertise
Agree on priorities and inform Cascale positions for the most relevant U.S. policy files for Casacle members within the textiles, apparel, and wider consumer goods industry
Discuss whether the focus should be federal, state level, or both

This MET is scheduled to begin in November and is estimated to last 4 months with a limited amount of ad-hoc meetings (maximum 1 per month).

Ideal participants should have knowledge, experience and be engaged with U.S. sustainability policies.

We invite those interested in participating to fill in this form before October 16th.
Reach out to policy@cascale.org with any questions

Product Tools

LCA Technical Advisory Group

Scope: Leverage member LCA expertise to: Review and inform on MSI/PM data updates (understanding changes within background data, etc), support to LCA-related FAQs for How to Higg, and identify opportunities for improved LCA data (new and updated data sources, etc)

Status: Postponed

Meeting frequency: TBD, likely monthly

Attendance: TBD

Finished Goods Assembly Processes MET

Scope: Identify default assembly processes for each product category on the PM to increase scalability. The only primary data requirement will be BoM (fiber content as minimum), as opposed to adding assembly processes piece by piece, i.e. cms of cutting, sewing, etc.

Meeting frequency: TBD, likely bi-weekly
