The Reality of Recycled Materials
With over 85% of brands setting goals to reduce their carbon footprints, recycling has become a central strategy in the sustainability journey. However, demand for recycled textiles far exceeds the supply. The world simply does not produce enough recycled materials to meet the call from consumers. This has led to significant challenges, including scalability and false claims. Verification is crucial to prove recycling claims as well to fulfill digital passport and traceability requirements. We’ll explore various textile recycling methods, realistic expectations for performance and supply, and how suppliers and brands can ensure integrity in the supply chain while helping to build future capacity.

Day 2 Presentation: 8:00am ET
