Building Sustainable & Circular Textiles Ecosystem Through Value Chain Collaboration

The world produces 92 million tons of textile waste each year, yet less than 1% is recycled into new clothing.

Second hand clothing , apparels and footwear have always found its way to traditional markets like Africa but the tide has changed.

With ultra fast fashion and declining demand for second hands,  the oversupply of used textiles has resulted in low prices– making it unprofitable for processors/ sorters/ recycling facilities to survive.

EU needs to takes responsibility for its own waste and that means absorbing its own recycled textiles / clothings.

This can only be supported if legislative changes and financial incentives are realised to help companies in the sustainable & circular textiles ecosystem thrive.

Will the mandatory EU EPR that comes into effect this year be enough to build a  robust European textile recycling industry ?

The European Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) was approved last year, and until the time the act is published with concrete measures by 2026, all brands will have to comply by 2027/2028.

How will the ESPR impact sustainability standards within the sector and will it move the needle and help the EU become a model of circular and sustainable transition in the textile sector ?

Realising a circular value chain demands technological innovations, new legislation, new infrastructure, environmentally friendly applications, and collaboration between all actors.

At the 4th Sustainable & Circular Textiles, Apparel & Footwear conference happening in Brussels on the 7-8th of April, CMT has put together a strong panel of experts united in the mission to drive textiles circularity.

Find out more as we dive deep into discussions on regulations, textile-to-textile recycling innovations, bio materials advancements ,addressing challenges in scalability and consistency.

And many more.

Including an interactive workshop led by Karla Magruder of Accelerating Circularity on Building Systems for Textiles Circularity.

Participants will explore the fundamentals involved in transforming used textiles into new, high-quality products. Through in-person participation and expert-led discussions, attendees will learn about closing the loop in the fashion and textile industries. The workshop aims to inspire solutions for reducing waste and promoting sustainability in textile production and consumption
