“Recycling textiles is more complicated than recycling yoghurt containers because textiles incorporate so many material blends,” says Rachel Van Metre Kibbe, founder of CSG and policy coalition at American Circular Textiles group (ACT). “In order for recycled fashion to become the norm, the cost of producing recycled textiles in our apparel, footwear and accessories will need to achieve price parity with virgin materials. Efficient and accurate textile sorting is a critical missing link to cost-effectively scaling circularity efforts.” https://lnkd.in/gMzF9mMN?
