2023年11月3日，皇家紡織學會在聯合王國倫敦上議院舉辦了2023年度國會午餐會，由夏思可(Haskel) 勳爵CompTI CText ATI 慷慨主禮。
Cholmondeley 廳迎來了世界各地的嘉賓，在酒會後享用了三道菜午餐。該活動業已成為皇家紡織學會年度行事曆上的社交亮點。
夏思可勳爵對尊貴的來賓表示歡迎，並感謝皇家紡織學會團隊成功組織此午餐會，並對紡織學會過去一年來的卓有成效工作表示祝賀。
午餐結束後，夏思可 勳爵向來賓介紹了演講嘉賓迅循(Accelerating Circulatory)創始人馬卡拉(Karla Magruder)。卡拉發表了精彩的演講，她講述了如何努力創建一個具真正意義的項目，在召集了一些紡織業界的同仁，創立了這間非牟利組織 。
「迅循」聚焦透過各持份者通力協作的解決方案來實現具商業運營規模效益的紡織成品到紡織物回收再生系統。她的使命是規範新的循環再生系統和商業運營模式，將使用過的材料轉化為新的原材料，從而實現一個不再有材料廢棄的世界。卡拉欲傳達的訊息是，整個業界至今幾乎沒有採取任何實質行動，今天業界需要做的不僅僅停留在空談，是時候出台新政策，並開展合作，如果要使業界產生積極的變化，就需要將新技術商業化，造就可持續發展的行業。卡拉堅信，如果不為更永續的未來建立起嶄新而有效的商業模式，一切都將是徒然。
當天最後一位演講嘉賓是皇家紡織學會理事會主席，Salford大學教授鮑潔絲CText FTI，她受到掌聲歡迎並向尊貴的嘉賓致辭：今(2023)年7月，Huddersfield大學成功主辦了第92屆皇家紡織學會世界大會：紡織和時裝供應的永續性鏈----邁向零碳和零廢棄物過渡。來自約20個國家的200多名參與者與我們一起關注並分享最佳踐行。大會主席 葛帕理教授CText ATI，
今天也有在場，我想對閣下如此出色的2023年度世界大會東道主表示感謝。這是一個志同道合的人們的精彩聚會，我們很榮幸皇家安妮公主殿下(譯者按：以聯合王國時裝和紡織協會會長名義)蒞臨第92屆世界大會，殿下對我們行業面臨的挑戰和機遇展現出非凡的知識。減少紡織品浪費、提高可回收性和最大限度地延長產品使用壽命的關鍵需要我們行業內外的最優秀人才齊心協力，為這些棘手/複雜的問題構建出可靠的解決方案。今天我們已經開始並將繼續進行這些對話。我們是紡織和時尚大家庭，這裏薈萃了大量來自學術界、商業和慈善界的個人和企業會員，他們擁有豐富的知識、卓越的技能和品質，能夠在這裡分享我們的經驗，我感到非常榮幸。通過廣泛的討論，我希望這將成為新的交流機會的開始，從而產生富影響力的成果。永續發展、面向下一代的未來發展、發展技術/設計技能以及擴大我們的全球影響力和融入國際大家庭是我們皇家紡織學會理事會在未來18個月內進一步探索的一些領域，我知道我們的各部門正在積極策劃於新冠疫情之後加強他們的活動，以確保我們為遠近所有的成員提供支援，在你們的持續支持下，我們將取得更大的成就。
我想對夏思可勳爵再次主禮這次精彩的活動表示衷心的感謝 ，特別感謝Taylor and Francis的慷慨贊助，再次感謝卡拉鼓舞人心且發人深省的演講，感謝所有在幕後幫助組織這一天活動的皇家紡織學會工作人員，並特別感謝大家一年來的持續支持，並與我們一起在這個特殊的地方慶祝和建立聯繫。

On 3 November 2023, the TI held the Parliamentary Lunch, generously hosted by The
Lord Haskel CompTI CText ATI at the House of Lords, London, UK.
The Cholmondeley Room hosted guests from around the world for a three course lunch following a drinks reception. The event has become one of the networking highlights of the TI calendar.
The Lord Haskel welcomed the distinguished guests and thanked the team at the TI for
organising the lunch, he congratulated The Textile Institute on all of its hard work throughout the year.
Following the lunch, The Lord Haskel introduced VIP guest speaker Karla Magruder,
Founder of Accelerating Circulatory. Karla gave a scintillating speech on how she strived to
create a project which had real meaning and after gathering some of her friends in the textile
industry, she founded the nonprofit organisation ‘Accelerating Circularity’ which focuses on textile to textile recycling systems at a commercial scale through a collaborative stakeholder approach.Their mission is to regulate new circular systems and business models, to take used materials and turn them into new raw materials so that we can have a world where materials are no longer wasted.
Karla’s message was that there has been very little action, the industry needs to do
more than just talk, new policies need to be introduced, collaboration needs to happen and
new technologies need to be commercialised if there is ever going to be a positive change in the industry where sustainability is concerned. Karla believes that nothing will be resolved until new business models have been established for a more sustainable future.
The final speaker of the day Textile Institute Chairman of Council Prof
Jess Power CText FTI, University of Salford was welcomed and addressed the distinguished
guests: “In July this year(2023), The University of Huddersfield hosted the 92nd World Conference: Sustainability of the Textile and Fashion Supply Chain – Transitioning to Zero Carbon and Zero Waste. We were joined by over 200 participants from around 20 countries to focus and share best practice. The Conference Chairman Prof Parik Goswarmi CText FTI is here with us today and I would like to say thank you for being
such wonderful hosts. It was a wonderful gathering of likeminded people and we were graced by a visit from HRH The Princess Royal (President of UKFT), who demonstrated exceptional knowledge in relation to the challenges and opportunities facing our sector.
The key to reducing textile waste, increasing recyclability, and maximising the lifespan of our
products needs the very best from across our sector and beyond to come together to design
credible solutions to these wicked/complex problems.
Today we have begun to have and will continue to have those conversations. We are the textile and fashion family, amongst us we have an abundance of Individual and Corporate Members from academia, commerce and the charity sectors, with a wealth of knowledge, skills and attributes and it is truly an honour to be here to share in the rich discussions that have taken place and I hope this will be the start of new networking opportunities leading to impactful outcomes. Sustainability, futureproofing for the next generation, developing technical/design skills and increasing our global reach and international family are some of the areas we are going to be exploring further in the next 18 months at TI Council and I
know our sections across the globe are ramping up their activities after the global pandemic to ensure we are supporting members near and far and with your continued support we will achieve great things.
I want to say a tremendous thank you to The Lord Haskel for once again hosting this marvellouswill be the start of new networking opportunities leading to impactful outcomes.

joining us to celebrate and network in this special place. As always the event was a great opportunity to network and meet fellow professionals within the textile industry.
I am going to paraphrase the words from a previous Chair. The (Royal Chartered) TI is the go-to place for anyone working along the textile/fashion supply chain, so if you want:
• some specific training,
• the answer to a problem you’re encountering;
• to advertise or secure a position in this fascinating industry;
• to add to your qualifications so you have a professional edge over your competitors;
• to stay up to date with what’s happening in the industry or in research
• to recommend someone for an award because of the amazing work they do then, please contact The Textile Institute headquarters, we would be delighted to hear from you.
