CAMBRIDGE - The Centre for Resilience and Sustainable Development (CRSD) at the University of Cambridge, in partnership with the European Recycling Industries’ Confederation (EuRIC) and the UK’s Textile Recycling Association (TRA), has published new research on reforming current customs trade codes which, it says, can create unnecessary barriers for the textile recycling sector.
The report, ‘Reforming textile trade codes to be fit for purpose for the circular and sustainable textile economy’, proposes the modernisation of international textile trade codes (HS Code) which it claims will better support the expanding textile circular economy.
