Our innovator Samsara Eco has joined forces with global nylon 6,6 leader NILIT LTD to explore the construction of the world's first nylon 6,6 textile-to-textile recycling facility! 👏 The partnership hopes to address the significant environmental challenge posed by petroleum-derived nylon 6,6, a widely used fibre in performance apparel and fashion. This material is notoriously difficult to recycle and often ends up incinerated, in landfills, or leaking into our environment. Aiming to be operational by late 2026, the facility will be uniquely capable of recycling textile waste, producing high-quality recycled nylon 6,6 polymers, for textile brands and manufacturers to seamlessly use in their existing supply chains to create new textile fabrics, infinitely. “By working with NILIT, we can reverse this trend and give apparel a new life. The MoU agreement is an important step to help brands and the world advance nylon 6,6 circularity and reduce plastic waste.” – Sarah Cook, Chief Commercial and Operations Officer of Samsara Eco Read more about the partnership here: https://lnkd.in/eFydWVeW #sustainability #innovation #partnership #circularity #waste #recycling

Uncover the "jean-ius" behind your favourite staple. 👖 Denim is the most popular clothing item in the world, with over 1.3 billion people owning at least one pair of jeans.* Despite its widespread use, denim production has a substantial environmental impact that raises serious concerns. Traditionally, denim is crafted from twill weave cotton fabric and dyed with indigo, giving them their iconic blue hue. However, denim production often relies heavily on water and harmful chemicals. Producing a single pair of jeans consumes approximately 7,500 litres of water from cotton cultivation to store delivery.** The positive? There are many denim brands already committed to finding solutions to reduce their impact by switching to alternative materials like recycled cotton, hemp and banana fibres. 🤔 What can you do: Look for jeans made from these fibres, as well as certifications (e.g. organic cotton), opt for high-quality jeans designed for longevity, buy second-hand, and look for made-to-order options to get the perfect fit.

We’re excited to share that our innovators Circulose and NFW have collaborated with & Other Stories to create a new capsule collection. 👗👛✨ Showcasing our innovators' next-gen materials, the collaboration features CIRCULOSE®, made from 100% discarded textiles, where cotton from worn-out clothes and production waste is recycled, and MIRUM®, an alternative to leather made from 100% biobased ingredients. Included in the collection are a bag and cardholder made with MIRUM®, alongside a satin blouse, knit dress, knit top, and satin skirt crafted from CIRCULOSE®. Circulose recycles cellulosic-based textile fibres, such as cotton and hemp to name a few, back into “dissolving pulp”. Dissolving pulp is the raw material for a number of different products, however, the main use for the pulp is the production of textile fibres such as Lyocell and viscose. NFW develops patented technologies based on the sustainable use of plants and natural fibres to create plastic-free, durable goods and textiles. NFW’s supply chains utilise renewable resources, waste feedstocks, and clean, closed-loop chemistries.

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital identifier that provides information about a product, including details on its materials, origins, repairability, recycling potential, and environmental impact. The DPP is designed to be accessible both online and offline, often via physical data carriers such as QR codes. The primary goal of the DPP is to enhance transparency, empower consumers to make more informed purchasing decisions and improve the designation of textiles, whether that’s for repair, resale or as a last resort, recycling. The DPP is a pivotal element of the EU’s sustainability strategy, derived from the EU Green Deal and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which came into effect recently, on the 18th of July. The European Commission will outline the specific information required for the DPP in the coming months, with full implementation expected by 2026 for products entering the EU market. However, some companies have already begun to voluntarily implement the DPP in anticipation of the forthcoming requirements. Our innovators are effectively tackling the challenges associated with adopting Digital Product Passports (DPPs). Some innovators, such as circular.fashion, EON, and Vaayu are notable examples of organisations advancing DPP adoption. Read the full article and explore the challenges, origin, functionality, and impact of Digital Product Passports (DPP) here: https://lnkd.in/eiDuzEnY #sustainablefashioin #transparency #Digitalproductpassport #dpp #traceability
