2040 IMMERSION GUIDE
FULL
REPORT
Dive into our official Textile Futures 2040 Immersion Guide. It explains why we built the scenarios and how, then takes you through all four worlds of 2040. Each comes with its timeline, a picture of the industry, the signals of change we can see today, a persona and an artifact. The research and framework behind them are here too, drawn from desk research and conversations with more than 50 people across the textile value chain.

4 X SCENARIO
CHAPTERS
Four futures for textiles in 2040. Pick a world and step inside. Each chapter is your guide to one place: how it came to be, what the industry looks like there, and the signals pointing towards it. You also meet a local and bring back a souvenir. Read one, or hand all four around the table and see which world people argue for.

WORKSHOP TOOLKIT
The toolkit is for anyone who wants to explore futures thinking in the textile industry, whether they work for a brand, a manufacturer, a union, a university or a civil society group. It takes teams from reading the scenarios to working with them. Guided activities and discussion prompts help you step into each of the four worlds, think about the part your organisation would play there, and test your current strategy against conditions very different from today’s.
