Our participation in the first-ever Textiles Recycling Expo in Brussels marked an energising moment for the circularity community, offering a glimpse into the growing momentum behind textile-to-textile recycling solutions. We were proud to see our "Polyester Recycling in the Moroccan Textile Industry" project featured on a panel discussion, highlighting the power of collaboration between public and private partners to drive localised circular solutions. The event reinforced the urgent need for aligned action across the value chain and we return with renewed motivation to keep advancing circularity in the textile sector.

Indonesia’s textile & apparel industry is taking bold steps toward a circular future. At a recent Jakarta Focus Group Discussion (FGD) hosted by Rantai Tekstil Lestari (RTL), stakeholders across the textile value chain exchanged knowledge and jointly explored actionable strategies to scale post-industrial waste recycling. Our founder Marina Chahboune presented key insights on transforming waste into value through localized ecosystems.

Closed Loop Fashion, together with our partner Nizam, recently visited PURE LOOP, a subsidiary of the EREMA Group in Austria, to investigate scalable solutions for recycling textile and plastic waste generated from the production of humanitarian aid items, such as blankets and tents. This collaboration builds upon previous successful pilot trials, utilizing PURE LOOP's advanced recycling technology to promote the creation of sustainable blankets and disaster relief tents.

We are proud to announce that Closed Loop Fashion's Indonesian case study is featured in the Upstream Circularity Playbook. As the only Indonesian case study, we share insights on circularity practices and our dedicated standard for textile waste management. Through our partnership with the Circular Fashion Partnership Indonesia, we aim to manage 9,000 metric tonnes of textile waste in 2025, advancing circularity in the textile sector.

We are pleased to have contributed to the newly published Sustainability Recommendation Paper, Promoting Textile Waste Management and Recycling in the GFT Sector, now available on the Asia Garment Hub.
