This article is about the inaugural lecture of Professor Gail Whiteman where she will be the first professor to wear an 'eco-gown'. The Eco-Toga is made of Returnity fabric. The fabric is Cradle to Cradle (C2C) certified and care has been taken to produce it with a low environmental and social impact and is, after use, totally recyclable on the same level. The toga has been developed as a result of the cooperation between sustainable fashion label DutchSpirit, Gail Whiteman, and de Togamaker.
