Textile Circularity
Reconomy, a UK-based company focused on circular economy solutions, has become a part of ReHubs, a European group working to speed up the transition to a circular textile system. Based in London, Reconomy helps businesses use resources more effectively, improve efficiency, reduce waste, and bring materials back into use.
Through its partnership with ReHubs, Reconomy aims to grow its network of textile sorting and recycling partners. This move is expected to support both closed-loop and open-loop recycling while improving collaboration within the industry.
As a member of ReHubs, the company will now work closely with different stakeholders in the textile value chain. These include collectors, sorters, recyclers, brands, producer responsibility organisations, and policy experts.
Aimee Campanella, Director of Textile EPR Development at Reconomy, said the company is pleased to join ReHubs at an important time, as new regulations are being introduced to improve the industry’s low levels of circularity.
