Sympatex makes circular commitment in Copenhagen

17/05/2019
Functional materials developer Sympatex chose the 2019 Copenhagen Fashion Summit (May 15-16) to announce that within the next five years at least half of the raw materials necessary to make its functional laminates will originate from a circular textile supply chain.

It went on to say that these materials will be fully recyclable and be 100% circular by 2030.

In the build-up to the Copenhagen announcement, Sympatex chief executive, Dr Rüdiger Fox, said: “Each year, mountains of clothes end up in landfill or are incinerated. For us, putting an end to this unacceptable environmental burden caused by our industry is more than just a moral commitment. We see in it also an abundance of raw material sources that can be used in the future, thanks also to our technology partners.”
