The report, aims to present an in-depth analysis of current conditions and dynamics within the textile sector. It provides an analysis of market structures, consumer behaviours, and trends in the textile sector.

This policy brief, delivered at the mid-term stage of the WhiteCycle project, aims to provide policymakers with an overview of the challenges and key recommendations identified by the project consortium that are affecting the deployment and implementation of the projects related to complex and technical textiles circularity. It focuses on identifying critical enablers and barriers within the current and future policy landscape that influence the success and scalability of similar initiatives.

CISUTAC guidelines support contracting authorities in integrating circular economy principles into the procurement of professional textiles, with a focus on workwear, uniforms and PPE. They provide practical recommendations, tools and good practices across the full procurement cycle and builds on existing European, national and regional guidance, as well as insights from EU-funded projects and stakeholder consultations.

The report addresses the data management requirements of actors in the textile sector when aligning their strategies and operations with the objectives of the 'Textile Strategy' and their implementation in the ESPR with regard to the DPP.

This document evaluates and maps the current and future regulatory framework in the EU, Member States and in third countries affecting textile waste, digitalisation, and sustainability. The Regulatory Landscape Analyse (RLA) looks into how the regulations, initiatives and strategies enable or hinder the circularity strategies. It also contains a draft list of potential SoC under ESPR regulation.

On 15 January 2026, a thematic online seminar on Green Procurement – medical textiles and sterilization brought together professionals and experts to explore how sustainability and circularity can be effectively integrated into public procurement practices. Organised within the InterregEurope CEMTex framework, the webinar focused on practical approaches and real-world insights from the field of circular and medical textiles.

This draft report provides an analysis of textile EPR systems across eleven countries,offering a comparison of regulatory approaches, implementation challenges, and emerging best practices. If you have any comments or feedback regarding this report, please don't hesitate to reach out to the TRUSTex project coordinator Ghaya Rziga from Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology.

This first PESCO-UP policy brief aims to contribute timely evidence to the ongoing debate on traceability and transparency in the textiles sector. This comes at a critical moment when the Delegated Act for Textiles under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) is still under preparation.

VERDEinMED’s Knowledge Platform brings together cutting-edge medical insights, expert resources, and practical tools to empower healthcare professionals and researchers worldwide.

This consolidated deliverable brings together six literature reviews—three grey literature reviews and three systematic literature reviews. The evidence examines the socioeconomic impacts and third-country externalities associated with global textile circularity systems, with a focus on African textile reuse flows, post-consumer circularity in the EU, and sustainability transitions within global value chains.

PDF deliverable from the PLASTICE project (D7.1) providing ecodesign guidelines for two material streams: cosmetics plastic packaging and textiles. The textile section covers EU regulations and Ecolabel criteria, ecodesign guidelines for synthetic fabric production from recycled PET, compliance evaluation of project partners SUN TEKSTIL and KORTEKS, and a recyclability assessment framework for textiles.

This brochure summarizes pilot results, highlighting progress, impact, and scale-up opportunities, while guiding companies and regions toward collaboration and market adoption.

The EU TCLF Skills Strategy sets a shared direction for developing the skills that the sector needs to thrive in the green and digital transitions. It identifies key gaps, proposes coordinated actions for industry and education, and aims to ensure that companies can access the talent they require while workers benefit from new opportunities.

This deliverable is a practical guide to driving circular transformation across the textile value chain, providing tools and frameworks for companies, associations, and policymakers to scale sustainable practices effectively.

The goal of this document is to help textile companies navigate waste legislation on the EU-level and, where applicable, also on the Flemish level. It provides practical steps on how to comply with various pieces of legislation and explains concepts such as end-of-waste, environmental permits, registrations and waste transports.

T-REX Project released a white paper providing strategic recommendations for policymakers to facilitate a robust and sustainable textile recycling ecosystem in the EU.

The HEREWEAR project brings an innovative holistic and systemic approach towards the creation of an EU textile ecosystem and market for locally produced circular textiles and clothing made from bio-based (waste) materials. These policy recommendations build on the project's results and findings to establish more sustainable textile manufacturing and use in Europe.

At the top of the waste hierarchy, waste prevention measures are pivotal to achieving the textile sector’s transition towards circularity. The role of prevention and reuse of textile waste represents a significant potential for reducing greenhouse emissions. CISUTAC provides policy recommendations supporting waste prevention and reduction and advances their realisation by filling technological and knowledge gaps through several pilots and activities.

This policy brief discusses which barriers exist that need to be addressed through new policies and policy improvements to support the transitioning to a Circular Biobased Economy (CBBE). It summarises what the limitations are of the linear fossil-based economy, it then discusses how it has become embedded in the EU policy.

This position paper serves as a guide for policymakers, offering insights to bolster the growth of a bio-fabricated textile industry in Europe. It gives them an overview on biofabricated materials, technical, sustainability and economic aspects and finally it gives policy recommendations for a new European biobased economy.
