A new industry alliance is uniting to push for textile recycling in fashion. The T2T Alliance launched today, bringing together textile recyclers Circ?, Circulose, Syre, and RE&UP Recycling Technologies to advocate for stronger policies and ensure textile-to-textile recyclers’ interests are represented in future textile regulations, particularly in the EU. Right now,?only 0.3% of the fashion industry is truly circular, according to Circle Economy.? Most textiles still end up in landfills or incinerators, making large-scale textile recycling a critical missing piece in the sustainability puzzle.?The alliance is pushing for a?closed-loop recycling system—including post-industrial, pre-consumer, and post-consumer waste—that could finally move the industry toward real circularity. The group has already provided input on the European Commission’s latest report on eco-design, advocating for the inclusion of recycled content and recyclability as core requirements in textile production. We’ll break it all down in this week's news recap—what this means, what’s next, and why it matters.?Make sure you're subscribed so you don’t miss it. // Keeping up with sustainable fashion can be overwhelming.
