Project description
A greener afterlife for your old clothes
The future of the textiles industry is green and circular. Currently, less than 1 % of textile waste is recycled into new textile fibres. To reverse this trend, the EU will mandate separate collection of discarded textiles by 2025. The EU-funded SCIRT project will develop solutions for the increasing volumes of collected textiles. It will support systemic innovation towards a more circular fashion system and bridge the current supply-demand gap for recycled textile fibres. SCIRT will demonstrate an entire textile-to-textile recycling system for post-consumer textiles, focusing on the recycling of natural and synthetic fibres, as well as fibre blends. SCIRT aims to enable conditions and supporting measures to facilitate this transition, giving special attention to the consumer perspective.
