How can Europe build a commercially viable circular textile system?
In this episode, Louisa Hoyes, who has worked on building up
textile circularity for the past 7 years, explains why building a
circular textile system requires much more than advances in
recycling technology. What you'll hear in this episode: • Why
collection, sorting and recycling should be designed as one
connected value chain rather than separate industries. • The
commercial challenges of scaling textile circularity, including
infrastructure investment, feedstock quality, demand for recycled
fibres, and business model innovation. • How Extended Producer
Responsibility (EPR) can accelerate investment, improve
traceability, and support fibre-to-fibre recycling. The episode
also covers emerging recycling technologies, collaboration across
the textile value chain, and the expected timeline for scaling
Europe's textile circularity infrastructure.
