Thank you to the Bureau of International Recycling for the increasing focus on textiles recycling. This is a market set for huge transformation with automated sorting, paving the way for regional fibre to fibre recycling. Our CEO Cyndi Rhoades was delighted open the discussion led by Alan Wheeler Textile Recycling Association with Martin Böschen TEXAID, Robert van de Kerkhof @ PEPPER-i2, Maud HARDY Refashion. #BIRCopenhagen2024 https://lnkd.in/eduQpPVM
Bureau of International Recycling Copenhagen 2024 shining the spotlight on #textilescircularity last week. Very stimulating panel discussion with Martin Böschen from TEXAID, Robert van de Kerkhof from Pepper-i2, Maud HARDY from Refashion and facilitated by the delightfully knowledgable and characterful Alan Wheeler from Textile Recycling Association. Key take aways: while today's textile recycling industry is at breaking point due to challenges with the reusable volumes and markets, automated sorting systems for non-reusable textiles are essential to paving the way for Fibre to Fibre recycling and will open the door for significant environmental benefits and economic opportunities, regionally and globally. Investment in infrastructure & scaleable recycling technologies, transformative collaboration projects like Innovate UK funded ACT UK and policy advancements, including France's textile EPR programme are playing a part in shifting the sometimes slow but prevalent needle towards progress. With special thanks to Bureau of International Recycling for putting the importance of moving to circular textiles centre stage and for the participants who joined the conversation. #circulartextiles Circle-8 Textile Ecosystems

🚀 A big step forward to achieving textiles circularity! We are delighted to announce our collaboration with TOMRA textiles to advance developments towards the first automated textiles sorting and pre-processing facility for non-reusable textiles in the UK, further strengthening the collaborations in the #ACTUK project.
🎉We are excited to share that we've teamed up with Circle-8 Textile Ecosystems to drive textile circularity in the UK! Joining forces, we're tackling significant challenges like the high volume of non-reusable textiles produced annually in Britain. Leveraging our expertise and advanced technology, we're collaborating on designing solutions for an automated sorting and pre-processing facility. This marks a major milestone in our industry's journey towards efficiency and innovation. 💡 Learn more about our partnership here: https://lnkd.in/ePENdJ2E #CircularTextiles #TextileRecycling #TOMRAtextiles #CircularEconomy #TextileIndustry 🌱

Circular textiles making waves and stimulating action in the Nordics, and beyond. Thank you TOMRA Textiles team for raising the bar. #circulartextiles
It was such a delight to participate in TOMRA's A New Textile Revolution event at The Conduit in Oslo earlier this week. I learned a lot, met some incredible people and enjoyed conversations with the likes of Jenny Skavlan from FÆBRIK (who last year filled a Viking Ship full of 6,000 avid upcyclers, knitters and vintage aficionados in a celebration of sustainable textiles) and Simen Mørdre, of Vandre AS, (ex-CCO Mammut Sports Group AG and dedicated mountaineer) working to enable an optimised #repair and claims system across brands, retailers and repair centres, making it easy for consumers to get stuff fixed. Silje Lambrechts from Summa Equity provided a breath of fresh air with a call out for more investment in technology to make circularity in the textile industry a reality while Silje Christine Augustson from Esperance Lifestyle shared learnings from creating luxury design with a minimalist approach. The wonderful Jo Eikeland Roald seamlessly brought the whole event together with Vibeke Siljan Krohn facilitating insightful discussions with Nordic politicians and driven entrepreneurs making change happen. Thank you to Vibeke, Jo and the growing TOMRA Textiles team Johanna Stemberger, Mari Larsen Sæther, Louisa Hoyes, Malte Althaus, Dr. Thilo Becker for the opportunity to share a few reflections from years developing Worn Again Technologies and new adventures with Circle-8 Textile Ecosystems. Your leadership in driving this area forward is greatly needed and much welcomed! #circulartextiles #nordics

As we move towards selecting a site for the UK's first Automated Textile Sorting & Pre-Processing facility, the ACT UK project is supporting the site evaluation, selection and securing of relevant permits for the facility. We are looking for advisors to review planning requirements, secure the lease, review required permits and associated assessments, energy analysis, logistics analysis and local stakeholder engagement, to feed into site evaluation to shortlist preferred sites. Please find and respond to UK Fashion and Textile Association. RFQ in link below, responses by 27th February.
RFP: Site selection for the UK's first Automated Textile Sorting & Pre-Processing facility ↓ ACT UK is a two-year project supported with funding from Innovate UK and led by UKFT. The project will fill the critical gap of transitioning from incinerating, exporting and manual sorting of non-reusable textiles to a system for automated sorting. The project is looking for consultants to support with site evaluation, selection and securing of relevant permits for the facility. This includes advisors to review planning requirements, secure the lease, review of required permits and associated assessments, energy analysis, logistics analysis and local stakeholder engagement, to feed into site evaluation to shortlist preferred sites.

Uk Automated Textile Sorting an Pre-processing facility here we come. Looking forward to exploring potential sites and regions with circular textile ambitions.
We are looking for a site to host what will be the first industrial scale Automated Textile Sorting and Pre-processing (ATSP) facility for non-rewearable textiles in the UK. A major step in the movement towards circularity for textiles, the ATSP is at the centre of Circle-8’s ambitions for fibre-to-fibre recycling and is supported by Innovate UK through the ACT UK project, led by UKFT Association We would welcome conversations with local and regional authorities, industry and other stakeholders who may have potential sites of interest in the UK. https://lnkd.in/eMhiDDkY #Partnerships #TextilesCircularity #GreenInnovation
