ReHubs Europe aims to collectively recycle 2.5m tonnes of textile waste by the year 2030 necessitating the implementation of up to 250 industrial projects across Europe, each focused on different aspects of fibre-to-fibre recycling.
Better Cotton shared updates from the WCD 2023 event noting the complexity of the cotton supply chain and that it is not currently set up for traceability.
The cotton supply chain is hugely complex and not currently set up for traceability. The changes require new technology and practices that will not be available to small producers without support – which is where Better Cotton can help in delivering traceability at scale.
And biochemistry researcher, Carbios, announced the inauguration of its textile preparation line at its demonstration plant in France, to turn textile waste from used garments into raw materials suitable for enzymatic recycling.
