Bringing the POC membership community together for two in-person events in the coming months, Products of Change will host a visit to circular factory, Teemill, and a regional members’ meeting in Amsterdam.
At the core of Products of Change is its membership community, and the connections and collaborations this builds. While POC’s regular online webinars continue to be popular and an asset to our community offerings, there is a different kind of value to be had from in-person meetings. Which is why POC has scheduled in two meetups for its membership community this summer.
Teemill | Isle of Wight, UK | 25 June 2025
The first is a visit to the Teemill factory on the Isle of Wight on 25 June. Teemill is a POC Member pioneering a circular economy system with its print on demand apparel and takeback service.
Teemill is reinventing the journey of apparel, by not only limiting production to exactly what is wanted and ordered, but also by recovering its products at the end of their life to recycle them into something new.
Starting in a family garage on the Isle of Wight and growing into a world-leading circular fashion platform, members will hear why Teemill set out to fix the waste problem in clothing, the milestones it has hit so far, and where its closed-loop system is heading next.
Members can walk the production floor while orders are printed on demand in real-time, with renewable energy powering every press. The Teemill team will demonstrate how the factory’s kit talks to Teemill’s cloud platform with real-time data and instant insights that help tweak designs, cut waste, and grow sales.

Already confirmed attendees include LEGO Group, Difuzed, The Natural History Museum, RSPB, and Nosy.
