Recycling has long been the focal point of circularity strategies in the textile industry — but it’s only part of the solution. To truly close the loop, brands and manufacturers must look upstream and downstream to embrace strategies like repair, reuse, and remanufacturing. These approaches not only reduce waste but also open new opportunities for customer engagement, value creation, and environmental impact reduction.
This strategy roundtable brings together industry leaders, innovators, and circular economy experts to explore how companies can design products, processes, and business models that prioritize keeping textiles in use for longer.
This event is open to Circular & Biobased Textiles Innovation Hub members only. Interested in joining? Get in touch to find out more, or subscribe directly below.
