In an effort to move the textile sector from linear to circular, the nonprofit group Accelerating Circularity will release its Global Cotton Report at the Circularity24 conference in Chicago next month.
The report “Accelerating Circularity explained” offers information on the impact, scalability, and viability of circular textile-to-textile recycling methods.
It is claimed to embodies Accelerating Circularity’s purpose of making the textile industry circular and is based on “exhaustive” system trials conducted in both the US and Europe.
According to Accelerating Circularity, the research displays the successful creation and market release of trial items, which include a range of clothing made of cotton and cotton blends. This indicates that large recycled content goals may be achieved.
The association claims that these trials are a critical step in lowering the environmental impact of the textile sector and bringing it into compliance with international sustainability goals.
According to Sarah Coulter of Accelerating Circularity, the organisation has mapped out a course that not only illustrates the possibility of circular textile production but also delineates the cooperative endeavours necessary to bring it to pass by uniting stakeholders from all points along the value chain.
