Increasing Circularity and Sustainability in Textiles and Clothing in Europe
CISUTAC’s fields of application
Fashion
Today, less than 50% of used clothes are collected when they are no longer needed, and only 1% are recycled into new clothes. CISUTAC aims at improving sorting for reuse and repair, and promoting efficient management and utilisation of textile wastes, replacing virgin fibres with recycled fibres.
Workwear & PPE
Protective workwear is made with technical textiles, for which few recycling options exist today. CISUTAC aims at implementing a fully circular value chain, which still requires cost-efficient dismantling, sustainable and circular designs, and approval from public authorities.
Active goods
Outdoor gear (backpacks, tents, etc.) and sportswear are complex products with several components. CISUTAC aims at enabling repair (and dismantling) which will extend the product life and facilitate recycling when repair is no longer possible
