Vilikkala CEO Jari as a guest on the Sustainable Textile Systems podcast
The circular economy needs disruptors – and doers
Jari Toivonen, the owner and CEO of the Vilikkala factory, who came as a guest on the podcast, promised to talk about the troublemakers. However, a discussion with Minna Halme, a professor of responsible business, on Independence Day led to a common understanding of the importance of locality for the circular economy and the Finnish economy. Jari is a practical implementer of the circular economy: At Vilikkala, discarded textiles are transformed into felt and new products. The company is growing fast and a carding machine would be particularly needed for equipment investments.
