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

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 Textile Industry & Sustainability: A Step Towards a Greener Future 🌱 The textile industry is one of the largest contributors to global environmental challenges, including water pollution, carbon emissions, and excessive waste. But it also holds immense potential for driving positive change. 💡 Innovative Solutions in the Industry From adopting circular fashion practices to leveraging eco-friendly materials like organic cotton, hemp, and recycled fibers, the industry is stepping up to address these issues. Brands are now investing in: ✅ Sustainable dyeing and finishing techniques ✅ Closed-loop production systems ✅ Transparent supply chains ✅ Ethical labor practices 💭 The Way Forward To truly embed sustainability, we must integrate it into the core strategies of the textile industry. This means innovation, regulation, and most importantly, education at every level. As we move forward, let's ask ourselves: 🌟 How can we rethink our approach to textiles? 🌟 What innovations can further reduce our environmental footprint? 🌟 How can we create a thriving, sustainable industry for future generations? Let’s continue the conversation. What sustainable textile innovations inspire you the most?

The Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) will impact textile products in the EU market starting in 2025. By 2030, all textile products placed on the EU market will need to be: －Durable, repairable, and recyclable －Largely made from recycled fibers －Free of hazardous substances －Produced with respect for social rights and the environment The ESPR will not only affect the consumer market but also textiles for industrial use. We could expect cleanroom and medical textiles to be included. As an integral part of the European technical textile supply chain, we are ready to contribute to circular, sustainable, and transparent value chains for our clients with our expertise and commitment to designing and producing top-notch reusable garments. These garments directly tackle waste issues, cost inefficiencies, and social injustice from the origin of our materials to the end of production. We inspire the change in the supply chain and we help our clients to lead the way towards net-zero economy beyond the EU regions. We only have one planet Earth. #circulareconomy #textile #innovation

We all know that a circular economy cannot be achieved overnight, particularly in the textile industry. That’s why within the EU, a range of regulations and initiatives are being phased into the textile industry, to help support its gradual transition towards achieving circularity.

What we're reading: sustainable fibers for a sustainable future ♻ The global textile industry is worth over USD1 trillion, and the sector will continue to expand as the appetite for textiles grows. However, the industry is a significant emitter of #greenhousegas emissions. Writing for TIME, Sarah Sax profiles the companies and individuals seeking to change the materials and fibers the #textile industry uses and advocating for more #sustainable practices in the sector. https://lnkd.in/dxXhrKpT

Shelly Gottschamer, vice president of Global Programs and Stakeholder Engagement at Accelerating Circularity, discusses textile recycling at scale at today’s AATCC (American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists) Textile Discovery Summit in #Savannah, Ga. The current linear model of the textile industry is causing significant environmental damage, from greenhouse gas emissions to water pollution, she said. In the U.S. alone, textiles accounted for 16.9 million tons of annual waste in 2018. This waste, along with the underutilization of clothing, leads to a global economic loss of $500 billion every year. Currently, less than 1% of used clothing is recycled into new materials. Accelerating Circularity is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing waste in the textile industry by developing large-scale, circular systems that turn used textiles into new materials. By collaborating with brands, manufacturers, and recyclers, The organization works globally to build these systems, educate the industry and provide the tools needed to reduce the environmental impact of textile production and disposal. #ILoveThisIndustry #AmericanTextiles #WeMakeAmazing #Yarns #Fibers #Fabric #Fashion #Knitting #Weaving #Nonwovens #Apparel #Sustainability #Sourcing #SupplyChain #CutAndSew #Textiles #FashionDesign #TechnicalFabrics #IndustrialFabrics #Nearshoring #Onshoring #MadeInAmerica #MadeInUSA #Circularity #TextileWaste
