AMSTERDAM – The Fashion for Good initiative is bringing together industry leaders - including Adidas, Bestseller, Zalando and Zara owners Inditex - in a new initiative aimed at increasing the recycling of waste textiles.
The Sorting for Circularity Project will use innovative near infrared (NIR) technology to analyse textile waste more accurately, while also mapping the capabilities of textile recyclers.
This research will lead to an open digital platform to match textile waste from sorters with recyclers, enabling their alignment and building an infrastructure towards greater circularity in the years to come.
