Saving Silver Fleece opened a whole new world of more sustainable production for Melanie Flintoft & Dean Flintoft throwing them onto a path to set a new industry benchmark. “After 30 to 40 years in the fashion industry, I’ve seen various production methods, but knitting stands out as one of the most sustainable,” said Melanie Flintoft. “It’s akin to 3D printing, generating next to zero waste – there’s just a tiny bit from the in-between threads. Overall, it’s an incredibly eco-friendly manufacturing process.” https://lnkd.in/gXQc3UuW Dean Flintoft #australianmade #australianmanufacturing #sustainableproduction #australianfashion #AFCMembers
