NEW YORK - An initiative between US-based non-profit organisation Goodwill Industries International and Accelerating Circularity has received US$1.2 million from the Walmart Foundation to develop skills, systems and infrastructure to transform unsellable textile donations into recycling feedstock.
Accelerating Circularity works with a number of brands, retailers, recycling innovators and non-profits on textile recycling trials in both North America and Europe as part of its mission to turn spent textiles into mainstream raw materials.
Below we have provided some links to key not-for-profit organisations involved in sustainability and the textile industry. This list is not by any means exhaustive, but if you think we have missed an NGO or an important institute, then please let us know.
There are two easy, low cost options to access the exclusive, premium content that MCL Global has consistently delivered for over a decade:
Textile Standards & Legislation is a 100+ page printed booklet which includes easy-to-read snapshots and concise summaries of the key points of each third-part label, standard, framework or, individual piece of legislation that we include here on-line.
Since it was first published back in 2009 – then known as the Eco-Textile Labelling Guide – our printed version has proved to be an essential reference tool for retailers, brands and those forward thinking textile industry stakeholders who want to minimise the environmental and social impacts of their businesses.
Because our printed booklet is easy to share with colleagues in office, can be read on the plane, train or even at home, and is yours to keep forever, it has become an MCL Global bestseller.
After all, many readers still want print. Even Amazon has recently opened it’s own real-life store selling real-life printed books!
However, we’re no Amazon. As such, we only have a limited print run of our guide. So if you want to guarantee you will be able to read our latest version – published in April 2016 – feel free to reserve your copy HERE.
