Green Deals Circular Textile signed

With this declaration of intent, partners will set to work on, for example, investing in qualitative and quantitative improvements in the processing of discarded textiles, knowledge building and dissemination of circular principles, awareness among end users and / or the use of circular textile procurement as a strategy in the transition.

Textile in closed loop

In the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area, we have the ambition to have 50% of the textiles in a closed loop by 2030 and to use 30% recycled material from non-reusable discarded used textiles by 2025. This means that we recycle regionally discarded textiles in the region and create new economic activities with textiles and clothing in other business models such as lending or renting, second-hand / vintage, maintenance and repair for life extension. This requires innovation in product design, recycling technology, business models and a more circular approach to textile education.

Green Deals Circular Textile

Within the Green Deals Sustainable from the Crisis | Circular Textiles, various parties are committed to this ambition and are working towards circular collections, with commitment as high as possible on the R ladder and in recycling to regional reprocessing. This means qualitative and quantitative improvement of the processing of discarded textiles, knowledge building and dissemination of circular principles, awareness among end users, and use of circular textiles as a strategy in the transition.

Within the Green Deals Circular Textiles, we distinguish various initiatives that all fulfill this ambition in their own way:

• Repair Shared Service Center

• Circular Fashion Innovation Lab

• Integrating circular principles in textile research and education

• Circular procurement of work clothing, including protective clothing for healthcare

• Awareness campaign for end users
