Working towards a scalable solution for textile-to textile recycling: Introducing the T-REX Project<\/h3>\n

Today, only 2% of post-consumer textiles in the EU are diverted to fibre-to-fibre recycling. The T-REX (Textile Recycling Excellence) Project brings together 13 major players from the textile industry along with research institutions to create a harmonised EU blueprint for closed loop sorting, and recycling of household textile waste.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Across a three-year period, the EU-funded T-REX Project l is working to collect and sort household textile waste and demonstrate the full recycling process of polyester, polyamide 6, and cellulosic materials from textile waste into new garments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\u00bbCircularity is a team sport, and we need to play together to win \u2013 this is the ethos of the circularity work at adidas. By bringing together major players across the whole value chain, the T-REX Project aims to demonstrate a new ecosystem approach, with harmonised methods and quality criteria.\u00ab<\/p>\n

The project ultimately aims to develop systemic solutions to the problem of textile waste by identifying the infrastructure, technology, and policy needed to encourage the growth of circular value chains in the textile industry. At the same time, the consortium will also work on assessing how citizens can be empowered to actively contribute to the transition towards a circular textiles system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\u00bbCurrently, innovative materials like textile-to-textile recycled fibres constitute less than 1% of the fibre mix. A combination of brand commitment, legislation, and regulation can accelerate the adoption of next-gen materials.\u00ab<\/p>\n
