This afternoon, we kicked off the autumn period with our first of two strategy roundtables focusing on the industrial capacities for true European textile circularity. In this session on mechanical recycling, we engaged in a discussion with our expert speakers, Ana Rodes from Recover and Louisa Temal from SOEX and I:Collect , addressing questions such as: ♻ What are the key challenges for collectors & sorters when trying to meet the material demand of recyclers? 🚮What are the trends in post-consumer waste collection? 🪡Is availability of the right quantities and qualities of waste materials a challenge for the recyclers? 📈Is there a growing market demand for recycled fibres? 💶How to overcome the economic challenges of recycled materials? 📜What is the impact of EU regulations on the business? Thanks to Chris Deloof, Managing Director of ReHubs for moderating, and to our own Textile ETP's Kamilla Drubina for organising the roundtable.
