3,14BAN at GreenTech Festival in Berlin: Inspiration, Eco Trends, and the Future of Sustainable Fashion
In May 2025, the team of the Ukrainian sustainable fashion brand 3,14BAN, led by co-founder Kateryna Uvarova, attended the GreenTech Festival in Berlin — one of the world’s most influential events dedicated to green technologies, sustainable development, business innovation, and eco-conscious fashion.
GreenTech Festival — A Global Platform for an Ecological Future
The Berlin GreenTech Festival gathered over 20,000 participants, including startups, corporations, fashion brands, climate activists, and scientists. Key topics included: environmental innovations, responsible technologies, circular economy, sustainable fashion, green energy, and climate neutrality.
For 3,14BAN, attending the festival was an opportunity to:
- explore cutting-edge eco-materials and zero-waste solutions,
- get acquainted with textile recycling technologies,
- network with representatives of leading European sustainable fashion brands,
- and observe how global fashion is transforming in response to climate challenges.
“We truly felt how deeply the concept of sustainability is integrated into global business models. It’s not just a trend — it’s a new ethic of design, production, and communication. And we are proud to be part of it,” — shares Kateryna Uvarova.
What We Saw and What We Take with Us
During the festival, the 3,14BAN team:
- attended lectures and exhibitions focused on sustainable fashion,
- learned about next-gen biomaterials like mycelium leather, seaweed-based fibers, and recycled polyester,
- studied the experience of brands already implementing carbon-neutral supply chains,
- and got inspired by practical applications of traceability technologies, smart tagging, and large-scale upcycling.
What’s Next for 3,14BAN After GreenTech Festival?
Attending GreenTech Festival was more than just an experience — it became a launchpad for new transformations. Based on the insights and connections gained, we are now initiating a series of internal and external changes.
We envision the future of Ukrainian fashion as honest, ecological, and global — and we are confidently moving in that direction.
