About
As regenerative materials move beyond pilot scale, key barriers like price and minimum order quantities still limit broader brand adoption. This session will introduce two growing approaches to solving these challenges: buyers clubs, where brands collaborate pre-competitively to place joint orders, and digital platforms, which make it easier to align supply and demand at scale. Through real-world examples like Circ’s Fiber Club, we’ll explore how these models can support material innovation, reduce risk, and build a clearer path to commercialization. This session is designed to help brands better understand how demand aggregation is evolving — and what it could mean for future sourcing strategies.
