LUBBOCK - Textile Exchange has released its second annual report on progress towards its 2025 Sustainable Cotton Challenge which aims to spur a shift in the market towards the use of more sustainable cotton.
The 2025 Sustainable Cotton Challenge aims to encourage brands and retailers to commit to source 100 per cent of their cotton from the most sustainable sources by the year 2025.
This second annual progress report reveals that 27.5 per cent of signatories have already achieved their target of 100 per cent preferred cotton usage by 2025, and another 27.5 per cent have achieved a 75-99 per cent preferred cotton share. Some 80 per cent are at least halfway to meeting the target.
