Change 100: The top sustainable fashion and lifestyle innovators honored at ChangeNow 2025 Paris summit
ChangeNow, the global summit focused on sustainable innovation, hosted its eighth edition from April 24 to 26 at the Grand Palais in Paris. A major highlight of this year's event was the launch of Change 100—a newly curated list honoring 100 companies that offer impactful solutions to environmental and social challenges. Selected by sustainability professionals, the list aims to spotlight emerging players driving meaningful change across industries.
Among the featured companies are Feelou, a brand specializing in bras for pregnancy and nursing; Loom, a textile recycling innovator; and Rax, a peer-to-peer clothing rental app. Sparxell also made the list with its plant-based, biodegradable textile dyes.
The 2025 selection includes Mikokos, a clean cosmetics brand free of harmful chemicals; Kuori, which produces bio-based, biodegradable and recyclable stretch materials; and SAO Textile, which recycles fishing nets into yarn (see our dedicated article on net recycling).
Several retail and commerce-focused innovations also earned recognition. Among them were Eoswap, a platform that encourages sustainable gift giving; Granddee, an app that maps secondhand shops, flea markets and pop-up stores; and Econow, a gamified tool designed to promote responsible consumer behavior.
Other notable mentions include Circular Library Network, which provides shared lockers for everyday tools, and Minimist FlexCo, which helps sellers automate listings, pricing and communication.

Colourant specialist Sparxell gets key fashion innovation recognition
LVMH -backed eco tech developer start-up Sparxell has received two prestige international sustainability awards. The UK company has been named among the prestigious 'ChangeNow Change 100' winners for 2025, joining 'a definitive list of the top sustainability start-ups to watch this year'. And during the recent ChangeNow summit in Paris, the company was additionally awarded the jury's 'Coups de Cœur' recognition in the fashion category, highlighting its game-changing potential to transform the fashion industry'. Sparxell, a University of Cambridge spin-out and 'developer of the world's first high-performance, plant-based colourant technology', joins an elite group 'demonstrating exceptional impact potential, scalability, and business viability while creatively rethinking industry standards'. It said this latest achievement reinforces its 'growing momentum as it transforms the $48 billion global colourants market with its revolutionary 100% plant-based, high-performance biodegradable colour platform'. Dr Benjamin Droguet, founder and CEO of Sparxell said the two recognitions 'validate our mission to revolutionise how industries approach colour. 'This comes at a pivotal moment as we scale our technology to transform how the entire fashion industry approaches colour. Through this innovation, we're not just creating sustainable products - we're helping shape a world where beautiful, high-performance materials work in harmony with nature rather than against it.' This recognition comes as Sparxell recently secured a €1.9 million grant from the European Innovation Council (EIC), adding to investments from the L'Oréal -backed Circular Innovation Fund and support from Innovate UK. It has also established partnerships with luxury brands under LVMH's La Maison des Startups.
