Explainer: Can Big Fashion Make Recycling Work at Scale?
['Shayeza Walid']
The Business of Fashion
Europe’s fashion industry faces a multi-million-tonne problem: how to manage the region’s growing piles of textile waste.
But the infrastructure to deliver on these goals at scale doesn’t actually exist yet — leaving the industry scrambling for solutions.
ADVERTISEMENTOrganisations it will collaborate with include the likes of Global Fashion Agenda, a non-profit that supports the sustainable transition of the fashion industry and Fashion For Good, a company dedicated to platforming sustainable innovation and scaling circular technologies, among others.
Rehubs says €5 to €6 billion will be needed over the next seven years to scale infrastructure and de-risk recycling technologies.
Rehubs’ roadmap comes at a precarious moment for Europe’s recycling industry.
