There are certainly challenges on the
road towards a closed loop for textiles.
For example, the fact that we currently
cannot make products with more than
20% recycled fabric from collected
garments without a loss in quality
and durability. Or that polyester
fibres can’t yet be recycled into new
garments without running into dyeing
problems. By creating demand
for solutions and actively working
with innovators and scientists, how-
ever, we are positive that we can overcome these challenges. We are
currently involved in a number of
different promising initiatives and
projects. For example, together with
Kering, we entered into a partnership
with UK-based innovation company
Worn Again, which is developing
promising technologies for textileto-
textile recycling.
