Build resilience through circular supply chains

The resources which underpin the textile & apparel industry are becoming scarcer and less stable, despite increasing global demand. Our textile waste management solutions help you build resilience, reduce risk factors and prepare for future supply chain challenges by guiding you towards the establishment of circular economy business practices.

“Creating effective circular supply chains and functioning recycling eco-systems are key to reducing the industry’s reliance on virgin resource and the associated climate risks. Establishing textile waste management practices are an essential starting point.”

Our extensive assessment and identified Corrective Actions enables us to divert waste towards more preferred disposal methods such as reuse and recycling, helping you establish circular supply chains and viable new business models.
