ACT AHEAD: Rethinking How We Produce, Use and Value Textiles
Muchaneta ten Napel (Shape Innovate)
If fashion is serious about circularity, does it need to fundamentally rethink its relationship with materials?
From how textiles are produced and consumed to how they are valued and discarded, the industry’s current practices continue to challenge its circular ambitions. In this keynote, Muchaneta ten Napel examines the disconnect between today’s linear practices and the principles of a circular textile economy, challenging the industry to reconsider how materials are designed, sourced, used and recovered. The session explores what must change across the value chain to make circularity a practical reality rather than a distant ambition.

THE REALITY CHECK: Do We Really Know What Our Textiles Are Made Of?
Martin Holicky & Muchaneta ten Napel
Circularity depends on understanding the materials we produce, but how accurately can we identify what textiles actually contain?
In this live Reality Check, Martin Holicky demonstrates Matoha’s material identification technology, exploring how fibre composition influences sorting, recycling and circularity. Through a practical demonstration and conversation with Muchaneta ten Napel, the session reveals how decisions made upstream create challenges downstream, and where technology can help bridge the gap between circular ambitions and industrial reality.
