The Circular Fashion Partnership (CFP) has officially launched in Türkiye, marking the next phase in a growing regional effort to accelerate circularity within the textile sector. Announced during Sustainability Talks Istanbul, the partnership is led by Global Fashion Agenda in collaboration with national lead Rematters, executed by implementation partners Reverse Resources, Closed Loop Fashion, and Circle Economy Foundation and funded by H&M Foundation.
Building on ongoing success of programmes in Indonesia and Cambodia, and earlier implementations in Bangladesh, the Türkiye initiative aims to strengthen factory-level systems that enable textile waste to be captured, managed and reintegrated into circular supply chains.
As one of the world’s most important apparel manufacturing hubs, Türkiye plays a critical role in the global transition toward circular textile systems. With its vertically integrated industry structure and close connection to European markets, the country is well positioned to scale practical solutions for post-industrial textile waste management and textile-to-textile recycling.
Closed Loop Fashion (CLF) is proud to support the Türkiye phase of the Circular Fashion Partnership as an implementation partner, building directly on our experience conducting CFP programmes in Indonesia and Cambodia.The programme will work directly with 20 project partner factories in Türkiye, supporting them through a structured implementation and capacity-building process focused on strengthening textile waste management systems and increasing the share of post-industrial waste that can be effectively recycled.
Within the framework of CFP Türkiye, Closed Loop Fashion will conduct on-site Textile Waste Management Assessments to map existing waste streams, identify operational and system gaps, and establish clear baselines for improvement at factory level. Based on these findings, CLF will develop tailored, factory-specific Corrective Action Plans (CAP) that translate assessment insights into practical, achievable actions aligned with each facility’s operational condition.
CLF will then provide ongoing, hands-on implementation support, working closely with factory teams to embed standardised textile waste management practices into daily operations. A strong emphasis will be placed on capacity building and system strengthening, supporting factories to establish robust internal processes for monitoring, documenting and managing textile waste and improving traceability and control over waste flows.
Through improved waste segregation, handling, and storage practices, the programme will also enhance the quality and accessibility of post-industrial textile waste, helping to ensure that materials are better prepared for recycling and can be integrated into higher-value circular supply chains.
For Closed Loop Fashion, CFP Türkiye continues our commitment to turning circular economy ambitions into operational reality, supporting manufacturers to move from intention to implementation and from waste management to resource recovery at scale.
