This month’s Spinning Yarns Speaker Series will feature a discussion of The Upholstery Plan to coincide with its release. The Canadian Wool Council’s Jane Underhill will speak about The Upholstery Plan and the opportunities that it presents.
The Upholstery Plan is the second in a series of feasibility studies from the Canadian Wool Council that assess the potential of Canadian wool in residential and commercial interior applications. The report examines the use of Canadian wool in the furniture and transportation industries, both of which could have a significant impact on its usage.
Similar to our first study, The Carpet Plan, the Upholstery Plan proposes three policies:
- Fairtrade pricing for wool at the farm gate.
- Dual manufacturing pathways in Canada and Europe to mitigate risk and encourage investment in a Canadian supply chain.
- Social giveback framework for the Canadian wool industry to bring it closer to financial autonomy, like many other wool-producing nations.
The Upholstery Plan will be released shortly before the event.
All are welcome, but registration is required.
