Textile #circularity is becoming increasingly prominent in various collaborative and research #projects! 🎽🌱 Notable initiatives like Glaukos project, New Cotton Project , HEREWEAR, my-fi, SCIRT Project, and TRICK Project are making significant strides in this field. To dive deeper into the advancements being made and explore the results of some of these initiatives, we recommend the article titled: 'The future of textiles: achieving a circular economy'. 🗞️ Read the full article on the CORDIS – EU Research Results (Publications Office of the European Union) website: https://lnkd.in/dvGyzqqs Interreg Euro-MED Programme Innovative Sustainable Economy Mission Textile ETP #CircularEconomy #TextileInnovation #Sustainability

Amid growing concerns about the textile industry’s environmental impact, the need for it to change is more pressing than ever. While you should always hunt for the most sustainable fabrics and avoid the very unsustainable ones, there is a group of fabrics where the name doesn’t automatically tell you if they are good or bad for the environment. Indeed, this group requires deeper digging to find the more eco-friendly varieties. So, we have to ask: Which fabrics are the most moderately sustainable? 👇 https://lnkd.in/gyNnB7NX #sustainableliving #moderatelysustainable #sustainablefabrics #textileindustry #ecofriendlyfashion

#Sustainable material is important because it offers a more #environmentalfriendly and #sociallyresponsible alternative to conventional textiles, while also #promotingresourceconservation, #ethicalproductionpractices and #biodiversitypreservation. https://lnkd.in/g33-HKW6

"More than 11 million tons of textile waste ended up in landfills in the U.S. in 2018, representing almost 8% of all municipal solid waste and contributing to the production of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Stacy Flynn, CEO and co-founder of Evrnu has developed a process to use some of that textile waste to create new fibers" — Sarah Sax, MESc, TIME   Evrnu®, SPC is creating a "sustainability revolution” according to Time.

The concept of #sustainability in the textile industry focuses on #environmentally #friendly practices, including #reduce, #reuse, and #recycle. Sustainable textiles aim to minimize the environmental impact of textile production and consumption while promoting social responsibility and ethical practices. This involves using eco-friendly materials, reducing water and energy consumption, and minimizing waste generation throughout the textile supply chain. One key aspect of #sustainability in textiles is the promotion of #recyclability. Recyclable textiles are designed to be easily disassembled and repurposed into new products or materials once they reach the end of their #lifecycle. By incorporating #recyclable materials into textile production, manufacturers can reduce the amount of #waste generated and minimize the industry's overall environmental #footprint. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards sustainable and recyclable textiles in response to #increasing environmental #concerns and #consumer demand for eco-friendly products. By embracing these concepts and practices, the textile industry can move towards a more environmentally conscious and socially responsible future. #3R #change #sustainable #textile #social #friendly #globaldevelopment

📢 🚀 The European Commission strategy for our textile industry is very clear! 🇪🇺 🤔 Simply put, it envisages our textile industry transitioning to a green #ecosystem where every garment is produced from recycled fibres and free of nasty hazardous substances that are so harmful to our precious environment. While each garment must be designed to be durable, repairable, and recyclable - it places sole responsibility for the value chain squarely on producers, with high penalties for those who come up short. Rather than manufacturing those 'throw-away clothes' produced from unsustainable, traditional materials that continue to drive our toxic incineration and landfilling habits - producers instead transition to long-lasting, high-quality garments that are made from sustainable sources. In other words - the end of fast fashion in Europe! 👚👟 👉 And this is exactly what our innovative #TextileWaste management approach for the European #CircularEconomy is designed to support. From our Smart Textile Waste Upcycling Microfactory©, a complete ‘turn-key’ urban manufacturing solution, to our sustainable raw materials such as #textilePulp Re-SanPulp™ and Re-Nano™, our patented micro fibrillated cellulose which substantially reduces poisonous carbon emissions. We have the complete solution!💡 👉 Find out more about our Circular Textiles solutions here: https://re-fresh.global/ #ReFreshGlobal #ReSanPulp #ReNano #sustainability #rawmaterials #innovation #fashion #textilewasterecycling #zerowaste #femaleleadership #bethechange #incineration #landfill #repurpose #apparel #textiles #fastfashion #slowfashion #europeanunion #europeancommission #startup

🌱 After months of peer-review and multiple iterations, at last: excited to share our latest research breakthrough – hopefully inspiring some concrete next steps in the domain of fashion sustainability! 🌟 Our paper, "Retaining product value in post-consumer textiles: How to scale a closed-loop system," co-authored by Ajay Jain, Cherie Nelson, Saskia Wendland, Florian Mueller, Fiona Charnley (our esteemed tutor), Ruth Cherrington, and myself, has been published in "Resources, Conservation, and Recycling." This journal publication is the result of our group study as part of our Postgraduate Degree at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), with invaluable guidance and active contribution from Fiona Charnley, for which we express our sincere gratitude. 🔄 Scaling Textiles-to-Textiles (T-T) Recycling: Only 1% of global textiles production currently engages in T-T recycling. Our research highlights the urgent need to scale this practice to mitigate the environmental impact of textile production. 🔍 Enabling Conditions and Incentives: We identified four key enablers crucial for scaling T-T recycling, including targeted regulation, leveraging existing processes, multi-stakeholder partnerships, and technological innovation. These strategic recommendations pave the way for a more sustainable future in textile recycling. 📈 Business Case for Circular Fashion: Our study underscores the emerging business case for T-T recycling, especially within the European context. By aligning regulations, fostering collaboration, and investing in technology, we can unlock the full potential of a circular economy for textiles. 📚 Dive deeper into our findings for a comprehensive understanding of how we can revolutionize textile recycling and pave the way for a greener, more sustainable future.
