“Sustainability meets our own needs today without compromise for tomorrow,” says Edward Hertzman

The Modern Cotton Story

For this week's podcast, we had an important and far-reaching discussion with Edward Hertzman, Founder and Publisher of the leading online publication, SourcingJournal.com. We explore an extensive range of issues facing today’s textile and apparel industries including supply chain disruptions, the importance of sustainability, the sales outlook for this year’s holiday season, trade relations between China and the U.S., and future challenges facing the industry, as well as many other topics of great importance to companies operating throughout the entire textile supply chain. Additionally, we discussed the impact of Covid on the industry and the ongoing changes seen in the industry as a result of the pandemic. This is a podcast not to be missed. Mr. Hertzman is publisher of one of the most influential publications in the textile and apparel industry today. His knowledge of the business and insights into the forces affecting the industry today and in the future are second to none. Hosted by Jennifer Crumpler, Fiber Development Manager and Manager of the e3 Sustainable Cotton Program from BASF, and interviewed by industry consultant Bob Antoshak.
