Classifying waste for recycling: the need for standardisation

As the use of recycled materials in textiles grows, so does the need for clear definitions, traceability, and harmonised classifications. Without aligned standards, manufacturers, brands, and consumers face confusion over what qualifies as “recycled” — undermining transparency, comparability, and trust across the value chain.

In this learning webinar, we’ll unpack why standardisation is critical to scaling the use of recycled materials and ensuring their credibility. Whether you’re a sustainability manager, materials specialist, or compliance professional, this session will provide valuable insights to help you make informed decisions and strengthen your recycled materials strategy.

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.
