About our management
Who steers what at Flanders Circular?
We all wear clothes every day. Our clothes are our second skin and part of our identity. But at the same time, the fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. Finding sustainable clothing is not always easy.
Niki De Schryver, sustainable entrepreneur at heart, therefore designed the online tool COSH! The aim is to offer a more sustainable alternative to everyone who is aware of the pollution and problems linked to 'fast fashion'.
Concretely, COSH! is a brand new online search platform that guides consumers in their search for sustainable, ethical clothing. Shoppers will find a clear overview of the sustainability characteristics of clothing brands and can search for sustainable(er) fashion within their style and budget. Sustainable shopping does become easy here.
Furthermore, COSH also makes itself available for sustainability advice to retailers and for press releases of new sustainable brands.

Thanks to this project, COSH! was able to grow and develop into the user-friendly online platform that it is today. After we decided to turn the application into an online platform, COSH! made a real breakthrough and we now have paying customers. However, to date, these are still not enough customers to break even. With a little more budget, we could grow from start-up to scale-up.
