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 (WP5) reporting on the chemical recycling of cotton/polyester textiles via enzymatic hydrolysis. It covers NIR-based sorting of textile waste, lab-scale optimisation of the enzymatic process, the pilot-scale demo, and the spinning and knitting of recovered polyester into new fabrics, closing the fibre-to-fibre recycling loop.

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.

As part of the RegioGreenTex project, the Textile Circularity Guide outlines how textile waste can be turned into resources through circular business models, digital tools, and collaboration. It provides practical strategies, business development tools, digital solutions, and showcases successful European collaborations.

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.

Video explaining the sorting solutions developed for textiles waste within REDOL.

The guide explores how the textile industry can overcome the critical bottleneck of insufficient data accessibility, laying out practical steps for brands, recyclers, and other stakeholders in the value chain to prepare for the forthcoming Digital Product Passport under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation.

This document focuses on the developments and activities carried out as part of Work Package 3 “Upgrading the management of solid urban waste streams” of REDOL project, in the period of M09 to M32. The main objective of this work was to achieve the improvement of different waste flows in REDOL value chains by designing and developing various technical and digital solutions. The targeted value chains are plastics, packaging, Construction & Demolition Waste (CDW), textiles and waste of electric and electronic equipment (WEEE). Based on that, five different technologies were developed for all the different value chains.

The main objective of this deliverable is to design and test, under controlled conditions, a set of innovative recycling and valorisation prototypes for different streams of Solid Urban Waste (SUW), aiming at its inclusion in circular and symbiotic value chains. These prototypes are tailored to the specific characteristics of each waste type.

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.
