Accelerating Circularity explained the report contains insights into feasibility, scalability, and impact of circular, textile-to-textile recycling processes.
It is based on "exhaustive" system trials that were carried out in both the US and Europe and is said to embody Accelerating Circularity's mission to make the textile industry circular.
The report highlights the successful development and market introduction of trial products, including a variety of cotton and cotton-blend garments, which Accelerating Circularity believes showcases the viability of achieving substantial recycled content goals.
According to the organisation, these trials represent a pivotal step toward reducing the textile industry's environmental footprint and aligning with global sustainability targets.
Accelerating Circularity's Sarah Coulter is of the view that by bringing together stakeholders across the value chain, the organisation has charted a path forward that not only showcases the potential for circular textile production but also outlines the collaborative efforts required to make it a reality.
Coulter said: "The Global Cotton Report is more than a collection of findings; it's a blueprint for action and innovation in the textile industry."
Accelerating Circularity explained that attendees of the Circularity24 conference on 22-24 May will be given an opportunity to delve into the Global Cotton Report's findings, understand the intricacies of circular textile production and the collaborative model that made these achievements possible.
The organisation also explained the event will offer a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and empowerment for those dedicated to driving systemic change within the economy.
In February Accelerating Circularity released the next phase of its Building Circular Systems (BCS) initiative which aims to amplify the development of circular textile-to-textile systems, mitigate the industry's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and curb the disposal of textiles into landfills and incinerators.
