Read more and watch the documentary to see how RegioGreenTex created ‘The Circular Garment’, a durable, unisex piece made from recycled fibers using innovative, circular textile techniques, developed through collaboration across 12+ SMEs and research centers in 8 European regions.

As part of the T-REX Blueprint for scaling textile-to-textile recycling in Europe, this report presents key insights from the Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA) on the business viability of circular textile systems.

As part of the T-REX Blueprint for scaling textile-to-textile recycling in the EU, T-REX presents a summary report of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Plastic Leakage Analysis conducted by consortium partner Quantis.

Green VETRINE has been developed by leading European training organisations in the textile and clothing sector, and delivers a European certificate for successful completion. The  course is also available in seven languages.

This guidance brings together key insights from research conducted during the T-REX project, offering practical, detailed advice on how to create recyclable garments while stepping away from the mono-material approach.

Following the successful completion of the 3-year innovation programme, the T-REX Project is pleased to present its recommendations for the scaling of textile-to-textile (T2T) chemical recycling  in Europe.

The textiles industry faces major environmental challenges, from high carbon emissions to overwhelming amounts of post-consumer waste. To tackle these issues, the T-REX Project has been working to build a blueprint for a closed-loop system for textiles.

The SOLSTICE project, funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe programme, aims to tackle the textile industry’s challenges by piloting circular solutions in Catalonia.

The SOLSTICE project, funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe programme, aims to tackle the textile industry’s challenges by piloting circular solutions in Grenoble.

The SOLSTICE project, funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe programme, aims to tackle the textile industry’s challenges by piloting circular solutions in Prato.

The SOLSTICE project, funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe programme, aims to tackle the textile industry’s challenges by piloting circular solutions in Berlin.

RegioGreenTex developed this report to promote open dialogue in building a sustainable textile supply chain. Ecodesign thrives through collaboration between designers, producers, distributors, and those involved in recovery, repair, and reuse. This guide is the result of a joint effort between Next Technology Tecnotessile and the Service Design Lab at the University of Florence.

This report aims to summarise findings about consumer behaviour related to circular textiles in the four territories: Catalonia, Berlin, Prato, and Grenoble as researched under the SOLSTICE project.

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

This report represents the final version of the Report on benchmarking and technology watch. It describes W2BC strategic benchmark and technology watch. Benchmarking strategic tool assists in the achievement of excellence, enabling improvement by borrowing and adapting the successful ideas and practices of organizations while avoiding unproven or problematic strategies.

Created as part of the SCIRT project, The True Cost Calculator is a self-assessment tool, developed to empower fashion professionals in efficiently measuring, comparing, and minimizing the environmental and social impact of garments across their lifecycle. It builds upon and enhances existing frameworks for evaluating the environmental and social costs of textiles. One of the most important features of the True Cost Calculator is its integration of financial, environmental, and social dimensions, monetizing the external costs associated with the lifecycle of clothing.

As part of the EU LIFE TREATS project, Lenzing Group and Södra have created a guide for designers and brands to enable circularity in textiles. The purpose of "Enabling Circularity - A designer's guide to fiber recyclability" is to share their experience of textile recycling, as well as its opportunities and limitations. Södra and Lenzing have a history of working together for over 10 years, developing textile pulp, and processes of textile recycling

The work provides an overview of the key instruments within the reach of local and regional authorities to improve the circularity of textile material flows, especially via citizens and engagement.

The work conducted led to two main outcomes: the creation of a unique dataset comprising 30,000 PCT garments , and the development of an AI model. The dataset includes images and annotations for each garment, capturing the complexities introduced by wear, tear, and alterations during the user phase. Unlike existing datasets that focus on pre-consumer textiles, this collection provides a more realistic foundation for developing digital sorting solutions.

The aim of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of circular textile business models. To this end, the report analyses existing textile repair, reuse and recycling systems in the EU and the trends that influence their operation. Based on these findings, the research explores the reasons behind the difficulties observed and proposes solutions to overcome them.
