The bottleneck of the circular economy

The textile industry causes considerable environmental pollution due to overproduction and short usage cycles. Although the EU will require separate collection of textiles from 2025, the actual recyclability of many products remains questionable, as blended fabrics and elements such as zippers or buttons make recycling much more difficult. The study "Assessing the Circularity Potential of Textile Flows for Future Markets in Denmark: A Study of Textile Anatomy" by Danish scientists examines how the combination of fiber composition, layers and decorative elements influences circularity using the example of the Danish market. The study was published in "Sustainable Production and Consumption".
