Textiles 2030 transitions to UK Textiles Pact
The UK-based Textiles 2030 is evolving into the UK Textiles Pact, a move which will bring the agreement in line with WRAP’s other flagship voluntary agreements, the UK Food & Drink Pact and the UK Plastics Pact.
Launched in April 2021, Textiles 2030 builds on the success of the Sustainable Clothing Action Plan 2020.
Signatories are still committed to a 50% reduction in the overall carbon footprint of new textile products placed on the market; a 30% reduction in the overall water footprint of new textile products placed on the market; and industry collaboration to achieve the Circularity Roadmap ambitions.
Over 130 organisations across the fashion and textiles supply chain, as well as trade bodies and charities, are signed up to the pact.
The UK Textiles Pact is a central member in WRAP’s wider Textiles Action Network which unites national and regional textiles initiatives to exchange knowledge, share best practice and work collectively to put the textiles industry on a trajectory to achieve net zero carbon emissions through the transition to a circular economy. Insights and learnings from the UK Textiles Pact are also helping to inform The G7 Agenda on Circular Textiles and Fashion, with WRAP one of the Joint Action Leads.
