Textile Sector

We work with companies along the textile supply chain, from fibre production to manufacturing, through to post-consumer management.

At Circularity we focus on rethinking the life cycle of textile products, intervening on materials, processes and end of life to build more efficient, sustainable and competitive models.

From creation to reuse

Industry figures

53 mln

of fibres every year

Produced every year, with less than 1% actually recycled

10%

Of garments end up in landfill or incinerated instead of being recovered

European objectives

EU Strategy

Sustainable textiles

European strategy for sustainable and circular textile products as the new industry standard

Transizione

Low emissions

Transition towards a low-emission production model with efficient use of resources

Reuse & Recycle

Across the entire supply chain

Promotion of reuse, repair and recycling at every stage of the textile supply chain

We redesign the textile materials cycle

Acting on the textile supply chain means rethinking materials, processes and usage models so that waste can be recovered, tracked and reintroduced into new supply chains.

1

Identification of value loss points along the value chain, with analytical assessment of cutting scraps, unsold stock and post-consumer flows

2

Integration of recycled fibres and bio-based materials derived from agricultural residues, marine plastics or discarded textiles into production to reduce the extractive footprint

3

Application of design for circularity criteria, focused on lifecycle extension, repairability and disassembly of garments to facilitate future textile recycling

4

Development of industrial synergies for end-of-life management, connecting brands with operators specialised in the regeneration and mechanical or chemical recycling of materials

5

Quantification of environmental impacts through Life Cycle Assessment, with specific focus on water footprint, emissions and chemical substances management throughout the entire life cycle

6

Implementation of traceability via a digital platform to monitor the chain of custody and ensure the transparency required by the new European standards (DPP, Digital Product Passport)
