Treading Lightly: A Hiker's Guide to Sustainable Clothing

​That waterproof shell got you up the summit. Do you know what it took to get it to the trailhead?

​Waste, overproduction, toxic chemicals: the hidden items that never make the packing list.

​Join us in Munich for an evening with industry insider Chu Wong, who helps set global standards for chemical use in outdoor clothing. Learn how functional gear is made, where the biggest impact happens, and which chemicals deserve a second look (hello, PFAS).

​You will leave with:

​🌲 The know-how to read labels and spot real commitments vs. greenwashing
🌲 What the EU's latest directive EmpCo implies for outdoor brands and suppliers
🌲 What your personal choices as an outdoor lover mean to the environment

​🎟️ 10€ entry includes a buffet of freshly prepared food and non-alcoholic drinks.

​Come hungry, curious, and ready to tread a little lighter.
