Ep.100: The global wool supply chain

Textile Innovation

The Textile Innovation Podcast speaks to Jeannette Cook, communications manager at the International Wool Textile Organisation (IWTO), about the global wool supply chain and the main challenges it currently faces.
The International Wool Textile Organisation (IWTO) is the global authority for standards in the wool textile industry. Since 1930, the organisation has represented the collected interests of the global wool trade.
In episode 100 of WTiN’s Textile Innovation Podcast, we speak with the IWTO’s communications manager, Jeanette Cook, about how the organisation works and the challenges it aims to overcome. We also discuss its work in education and the annual events it holds.
Cook details how the IWTO prioritises sheep welfare as it looks to create a more traceable woollen supply chain within the textile industry.
She also speaks at length about the organisation’s work in creating a sustainable future for the wool trade. If you would like to learn more, please visit iwto.org.
