Fashion For Good launches textile sorting project
Fashion For Good has launched a new project for sorting textile and apparel waste “on a scale greater than ever before”.
Amsterdam-based Fashion For Good is an initiative that aims to help companies in the fashion supply chain work with innovative technology providers to make the clothing sector more sustainable. It has called the new project Sorting For Circularity.
Its objective is to bring together brands and industry leaders from across Europe to conduct comprehensive textile waste analysis using Near Infrared (NIR) technology. It will also map the capabilities of textile recycling companies.
It said this research will lead to an open digital platform to match textile waste from sorters with recyclers, “enabling their alignment and building an infrastructure towards greater circularity in the years to come”.
Companies that will take part in the Sorting for Circularity project include adidas, Bestseller, Zalando, Inditex, Arvind, Birla Cellulose, Levi Strauss, Otto and PVH.
