Innovation and sustainability
From its outset, Poplar Works has had a focus on sustainability. It’s in the building’s fabric, working with what was there and using sustainable building materials. It’s in our waste approach which includes specialised textile reuse and recycling. It’s core to many of the businesses that call Poplar Works home, whether that’s use of deadstock fabrics to reduce fashion’s impact on landfill, innovating with new materials and processes such as pollution- filtering clothes and digital cutting, or disrupting the retail landscape.
