12:15–13:00 – Measuring Circular Performance to Meet CSRD Standards
With Ruud Bongers, Senior Researcher and Assistant Professor, Maastricht University & Zuyd University of Applied Science
This interactive workshop guides participants through mapping their product’s value chain to identify circularity hotspots and assess material flows using the Material Circularity Indicator (MCI) and ISO 59020 principles. Limited to 12 participants, first come, first served.13:00-14:00 – Anatomy of a Repairable Product: The Zipper Edition
With Kimberly Kinney from Rugged Thread
Zippers are the number-one reason great gear gets retired early. In this interactive session, Rugged Thread demonstrates how design decisions affect repairability — using real jackets and packs to explore zipper types, access points, and common failure modes. Attendees will learn how small upstream choices can make repairs faster, more consistent, and cost-effective. Join the conversation to see how Design for Repair thinking can extend product life and strengthen circular design strategies.
16:00–17:00 – How Your Business Can Fund Nature Restoration
With Dan Yates, Executive Director, European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA)

Together with the European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA), Greenroom Voice presents the new visual mind map “How to Become Nature Positive” — a collaborative effort to make complex connections visible and actionable.
The map breaks down the journey into three simple layers: Why we must act, what to do, and how to do it. It highlights key facts and figures, the growing risks linked to biodiversity loss, and the tools and frameworks that can help companies take measurable action. More than a chart, it’s an invitation — to explore, reflect, and find your own starting point.
Throughout the day, our guided Sustainability Tours will begin with a short introduction to the poster, offering context and insight before moving into real-world examples from our exhibitors.
The poster will also remain on display as an open invitation to stop, think, and connect ideas — a shared map for an industry ready to take the next step.A2.631
