🧵 Industry Resource: Sustainability and Circularity in the Textile Value Chain. 📘 The report from the UN Environment Programme One Planet network - 10YFP sets out a global roadmap to reach the collective goal of a circular textile sector. ⬇️ The report highlights that every year, the industry: 🏭 Emits 2-8% of the world’s greenhouse gases.  🏊 Uses the equivalent of 86 million Olympic-sized swimming pools of natural water resources. 🌊 Is responsible for 9% of microplastic pollution in our oceans. 🔵 Building on research and consultations with over 140 textile value chain stakeholders, it defines a common agenda for transformation, identifying three priorities: 1️⃣ Shifting consumption patterns. 🌐 Optimising design, business models and consumer behaviour 2️⃣ Improved practices. 🌀 Optimising practices and behaviour in existing sites, companies and processes 3️⃣ Infrastructure investment. 💶 Investing in shared physical technology and systems 🔷The report stresses that such a transformation will require all stakeholders to work together towards a common goal, which, if successful, could generate $700 billion in economic value by 2030. 📖 Read here: https://lnkd.in/dmkGkfXF 🟦 At Solena Materials, we are committed to reducing the environmental impact of the fashion sector by creating the next generation of synthetic fibres. 🔬 We design new proteins to develop fibres that are high-performance and non-oil derived. ⏩ Learn more about our technology: https://lnkd.in/eGzvxNmN #SustainableFashion #SustainableTextiles #Biotechnology #TextileIndustry #ApparelManufacturing #Fibres #CircularFashion #Circularity

I am really looking forward to chairing the textiles plenary session at the Bureau of International Recycling in Copenhagen today. In order to move towards the goal of a #circulareconomy for textiles not only do we need market support, but also sensible policies driven by good robust data and today we will be exploring how it can be possible to deliver the necessary quality raw materials at appropriate price points. #textilerecycling #sustainablefashion #usedclothing #sustainability.

 ‘Planet vs. Plastic’ is the theme for the Earth Day 2024.  ‘Planet vs. Plastics’ highlights EarthDay.org’s commitment to demanding a 60 percent reduction on the production of all plastics by 2040. That’s a pretty challenging goal, but it is crucial that people become more aware of the tangible danger plastics cause to the planet. Among the goals EarthDay.org asks for there’s the demands for policies ending fast fashion; nearly 70 percent of clothing is made using crude oil, and the clothing and apparel industry is one of the most polluting, with synthetic textiles contributing to 60 percent of the microplastics in the environment. It’s a very huge percentage which affects all human beings. COEX® technology has always looked to the future with constant care for our health and the good of the planet, which has always been its top priority. In fact, COEX® fabrics are natural, plant based, they are biodegradable, do not contain chemical additives, and above all, they are produced with love for our Earth, because they are naturally fireproof. #coexnaturallyfireproof #earthday2024 #health #lovefortheplanet #naturalfabrics

Did you know that the textile industry is the second-largest polluter globally? Re-Fresh Global is making strides to change that narrative with their revolutionary approach to up-cycling. Here are some key highlights: Innovative Biotechnology: Re-Fresh Global has developed a patented process that converts all types of textile waste into high-quality raw materials. These include nanocellulose, pure ethanol, and customizable textile pulp, all ready for new production cycles. Wide-Ranging Uses: The up-cycled materials from Re-Fresh Global find applications across various industries, from packaging and pharmaceuticals to beauty and construction products. Impressive Recognition: With €1.1 million in pre-seed funding from esteemed investors, Re-Fresh Global's efforts are gaining significant traction. By transforming textile waste into valuable resources, Re-Fresh Global is paving the way for a more sustainable future in fashion and beyond. What challenges do you see in the path to a zero-waste textile industry? #CircularEconomy #ZeroWaste #LinkedInTopVoices

BIR Convention: Where are we on the path towards textiles circularity? The fundamental textile circularity framework is in place, but scaling remains challenging. What could be an effective accelerator? 🔹 Market support from policymakers through smart subsidies for innovations? 🔹 Regulatory restrictions on the production of new fibers, but not on recycled fibers? 🔹 Significantly more responsibility from producers? 🔹 Crucially needed support for sorters and recyclers as a first step? 🔹 other innovative solutions? We will be discussing these points tomorrow in Copenhagen. As President of the Textile Division of Bureau of International Recycling in I am delighted to welcome distinguished experts and close companions to our podium discussion at the BIR Convention 2024. Thank you very much, Cyndi Rhoades, Alan Wheeler, Maud HARDY and Robert van de Kerkhof for joining this important discussion. A special thanks for walking this path together for many years. Together, we will continue to drive the transformation of our industry. #Textiles #CircularEconomy #Recycling #Sustainability #BIRConvention2024
