Our Projects

Closed Loop Fashion, in collaboration with the German Development Agency (GIZ) and Decathlon, seeks to establish a circular economy within Morocco's textile and apparel sector by promoting partnerships among key private sector stakeholders. With a particular emphasis on polyester waste, a significant contributor to textile waste, the initiative aims to develop local recycling infrastructure and processes designed to produce high-quality recycled polyester products.

Closed Loop Fashion in partnership with H. Nizam Din & Sons Private Limited and World of Tents/Alpinter SA, aims to integrate circular economy practices into the production of humanitarian aid tents. With new funding, the initiative focuses on developing more sustainable versions of tents used in humanitarian aid, incorporating innovative designs to reduce waste and emissions. The collaboration brings together seven new partners from the tenting industry to address the complexity of materials and components involved, contributing to both environmental sustainability and enhanced humanitarian response efforts.

Closed Loop Fashion supports Fashion For Good in the process of scouting and screening potential strategic supplier partners in Indonesia. This effort is part of the Strategic Supplier Initiative, that are now expanding to Indonesia as the first South-East Asian country for the Manufacturing Markets Gateway (MMG) Phase II, which aims to help brands' suppliers implement market-ready technologies to advance innovation, circularity, and sustainability in textile manufacturing.

We're thrilled to announce a transformative partnership with Global Fashion Agenda, H&M Foundation, Reverse Resources, and Circle Economy, aiming to revolutionize the fashion industry's approach to sustainability. Through the National Circular Fashion Partnerships, we're driving the adoption of circular systems and mobilizing manufacturers, brands, governments, recyclers, NGOs, and other relevant stakeholders to take part.

Closed Loop Fashion is undertaking a crucial initiative aimed at establishing a recycling ecosystem for textile waste in Cambodia. This collaborative project will introduce textile waste management systems at 21 factories while offering comprehensive training to key stakeholders. By piloting this project, our goal is to develop a scalable approach to managing textile waste more effectively, ultimately reducing the volume of waste destined for landfills and incineration facilities.

Closed Loop Fashion and Reverse Resources have started a sector analysis to assess the state of post-industrial textile waste systems in three North African countries - Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia, and map potentials to bridge these material sources with European recyclers and textile industry stakeholders to develop circular economy business cases and new job creation.

Taking on the challenge of finding alternative, sustainable solutions for replacing the use of virgin polyester in garments, Closed Loop Fashion, alongside industry partners have successfully developed a high-quality fibre made using recycled polyester from textile waste.

Working with Indonesian textile industry partners, Closed Loop Fashion facilitated a collaborative project to develop sustainable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), aimed to address the negative environmental impacts of single-use and disposable medical gear caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Closed Loop Fashion facilitates a new Public-Private-Partnership project in Pakistan to improve resource efficiency, carbon footprint and environmental sustainability of the humanitarian aid sector through optimising textile waste management and utilising recycled feedstock for the production of disaster relief blankets.
