ReHubs
ReHubs, a dedicated alliance promoting textile recycling, has announced plans to release a comprehensive roadmap aimed at transforming the European textile industry and tackling its growing waste challenges. The alliance is focused on boosting textile-to-textile recycling and encouraging greater use of recycled fibres across the industry.
The upcoming roadmap is being developed in collaboration with over 30 partners, associates, and circularity experts to create a unified strategy for industry change. The strategic framework is being prepared by Gherzi Textil Organisation, with support from ReHubs board advisor Evan Wiener.
Scheduled for release in September, the roadmap will present detailed action plans for key industry stakeholders and highlight top priority initiatives to drive success. It will also introduce clear key performance indicators (KPIs) and provide a step-by-step approach to help scale textile-to-textile recycling efforts across the value chain.
ReHubs CEO Robert van de Kerkhof stated, “The textile and apparel industry is at a pivotal moment. With shifting regulations and rapid innovation, we have the opportunity to make lasting changes that benefit the planet, the economy, and society. ReHubs is proud to lead this mission by bringing together a broad network to build a resilient, circular textile system.”
