About CCES

The Canadian Circular Economy Summit (CCES) provides an opportunity for leaders across sectors and industries to come together in-person, share leading efforts and activities, and to identify the solutions, innovations, and cross-sectoral collaborations necessary for accelerating the transition to a circular economy in Canada.

In lieu of FTA’s annual World Ethical Apparel Roundtable (WEAR) conference, Fashion Takes Action is pleased to have partnered with Circular Economy Leadership Canada and the Circular Innovation Council to bring you a dedicated Textiles & Apparel Track at CCES 2025.
