The goal of Accelerating Circularity is to launch new supply chains and business models that will transform used textiles into widely used raw materials. The Accelerating Circularity Playbook is intended to serve as an introduction to circular systems implementation for stakeholders, with the goal of preventing millions of tonnes of textile waste from ending up in landfills or being burned.
“Since circularity is a team activity, it makes logical to use a Playbook as a how-to manual. According to ACP creator and president Karla Magruder, it is intended to promote and hasten circular systems. “We have been collaborating with more than 100 value chain participants in the USA and Europe to spark fresh alliances and test out textile-to-textile recycling. In categories such as t-shirts, denim, fleece, workwear, and others, the circular system pilot trials are taking place at normal industry MOQs. towels. Our focus is on post-consumer textiles as we believe they are too good to waste. ”
Circularity 23 is sponsored by GreenBiz as the leading convening of professionals building the circular economy with thought-provoking keynotes, actionable breakouts, and a solutions-oriented expo with networking opportunities. Accelerating Circularity Founder, Karla Magruder, Sarah Coulter, Director of Operations, and ACP board member, Steve Bethel, founder of Bank & Vogue, Shelly Gottshamer, CEO Treadletree consulting on the project, along with trial partners from Cone Denim, Parkdale Mills, Unifi, Sortile, and Goodwill Industries will be there to discuss the textile-to-textile recycling playbook on June 7th.
