Incineration is becoming increasingly used to generate energy from textile waste, but this contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and destroys valuable materials in the process.<br/><br/><strong>Reuse and export</strong><br/>Approximately 8% of discarded textiles are reused or exported, with the volume of traded second-hand clothing growing nearly sevenfold over the past 30 years.

Some materials are needed for stock build-up—like buildings and machinery—while others, like fossil fuels, are inherently non-circular. Instead of aiming for full circularity, we should see the circular economy as a tool for managing resources more sustainably.<br/><br/>The textile industry grapples with additional challenges, such as fibre degradation after recycling, and dilemmas such as mixed fabrics being more durable but less recyclable than mono-material fabrics. This is why it’s important to look beyond the Circularity Metric and focus on reducing material consumption and the environmental impacts linked to it.</p></div><div id="w-node-_8769aa62-856f-9f9c-3682-5b0ed89e433e-ef06a7ae" class="report-inner-dropdown-item-content-image"><img class="report-section-image opposite max-h" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5e185aa4d27bcf348400ed82/6747874f5e9133ffbbb69b2a_AdobeStock_538034048%20-%20person%20sorting%20second%20hand%20clothes-optimised.webp" width="310" height="456" alt="" sizes="(max-width: 479px) 118.40625px, (max-width: 991px) 170.078125px, 310px" id="w-node-_8769aa62-856f-9f9c-3682-5b0ed89e433f-ef06a7ae" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5e185aa4d27bcf348400ed82/6747874f5e9133ffbbb69b2a_AdobeStock_538034048%20-%20person%20sorting%20second%20hand%20clothes-optimised-p-500.webp 500w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5e185aa4d27bcf348400ed82/6747874f5e9133ffbbb69b2a_AdobeStock_538034048%20-%20person%20sorting%20second%20hand%20clothes-optimised-p-800.webp 800w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5e185aa4d27bcf348400ed82/6747874f5e9133ffbbb69b2a_AdobeStock_538034048%20-%20person%20sorting%20second%20hand%20clothes-optimised.webp 1200w"/></div></div></div></div><div id="w-node-_8769aa62-856f-9f9c-3682-5b0ed89e4340-ef06a7ae" class="report-download-item-group"><div id="w-node-_8769aa62-856f-9f9c-3682-5b0ed89e4341-ef06a7ae" class="report-download-item-group-content"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5e185aa4d27bcf348400ed82/67476a6bf97c0854ee937759_CGR%20Textiles%20-%20Impact%20combined-optimised.jpg" loading="lazy" alt=""/></div></div><div id="w-node-_8769aa62-856f-9f9c-3682-5b0ed89e4343-ef06a7ae" class="report-download-item-group"><div id="w-node-_8769aa62-856f-9f9c-3682-5b0ed89e4344-ef06a7ae" class="report-download-item-group-content"><div class="textile-industry-items"><div class="textile-industry-item"><div id="w-node-_75c2623d-f669-c688-ee52-ad6dab5a4e42-ab5a4e41" class="textile-industry-item-heading"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5e185aa4d27bcf348400ed82/67476dd627c138b5346e300f_Recycled%20fibres.svg" loading="lazy" alt="" class="textile-industry-item-icon"/><div id="w-node-_75c2623d-f669-c688-ee52-ad6dab5a4e44-ab5a4e41" class="ds-h3-cgr">Shift to more natural, local and recycled fibres</div></div><div class="ds-body-cgr w-richtext"><p>Synthetic fibres are mainly derived from fossil fuels, which contribute to climate change. <strong>Boosting the use of natural fibres</strong> like cotton, linen, silk and wool could lower the industry’s emissions, but it may also increase its impacts on water and soil health, for example.<br/><br/>Improved textile recycling can help mitigate these impacts.

circularity. Crucially for our field, it bases its recommendations on data and practical insights, highlighting the urgent need for a shift from a linear to a circular economy. It advocates for sustainable practices, better labour standards, and systemic change. Aligned with our vision at Recover™, this report underscores our belief that a sustainable transformation of the textile sector is not only necessary but entirely possible.</div><div>– Ana Rodes, Head of Sustainability, Recover™</div></div></div><div data-wf--feedback-slide-content--variant="right-to-left" class="feedback-slide-content swe w-variant-190f50ea-3257-b099-e493-65638b6c6926"><div id="w-node-_65fc0cdd-f487-6947-8f40-f1e14e5dcc94-4e5dcc93" class="feedback-photo-wrapper w-variant-190f50ea-3257-b099-e493-65638b6c6926"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5e185aa4d27bcf348400ed82/67470399c8f0834bc2ea7b94_Anna%20Pehrsson%20TEXAID%20headshot%20-%20CGR%20TX-optimised.jpeg" loading="lazy" width="212" alt="" class="feedback-photo"/></div><div class="feedback-quote-wrapper"><div class="text margin-bottom-16">This comprehensive report on the circularity of the global textile industry is the first of its kind, offering valuable insights into the status quo.

This calls for strong action to boost circularity while ultimately limiting overall volumes of production and consumption, which outpace such advancements in circularity. Community-led local solutions to global challenges, as well as regulatory frameworks, are what we need now to address the fact that over 99% of the materials needed for global textiles manufacturing still originate from primary sources.</div><div>– Esra Tat, Executive Director, <br/>Zero Waste Europe</div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="footer"><div class="grid"><div id="w-node-c4dde193-8b09-416d-0fa9-d8ef6c868200-6c8681fe" class="footer-content"><div class="footer-text">The Circularity Gap Reporting Initiative is an initiative of <strong>Circle Economy</strong>, an impact organisation dedicated to accelerating the transition to the circular economy.<br/><a href="http://www.circle-economy.com" target="_blank" class="link-2">www.circle-economy.com</a></div><a href="http://circle-economy.com" target="_blank" class="new-logo w-inline-block"></a><div class="copyrighting-years">© 2008-2025</div></div><div id="w-node-c4dde193-8b09-416d-0fa9-d8ef6c868206-6c8681fe" class="footer-content"><a href="/privacy-policy" class="footer-link">Privacy policy</a><a href="/contact" class="footer-link">Contact us</a><a href="/press" class="footer-link hidden">Press & Media</a><a href="/endorsements" class="footer-link">Endorsements</a><a href="/faq" class="footer-link">FAQ</a></div><div id="w-node-c4dde193-8b09-416d-0fa9-d8ef6c86820d-6c8681fe" class="footer-content"><div class="footer-social"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/organization/1671305" target="_blank" class="social-icon linkedin w-inline-block"></a><a href="http://instagram.com/circleeconomy" target="_blank" class="social-icon instagram w-inline-block"></a></div></div></div></div><script src="https://d3e54v103j8qbb.cloudfront.net/js/jquery-3.5.1.min.dc5e7f18c8.js?site=5e185aa4d27bcf348400ed82" type="text/javascript" integrity="sha256-9/aliU8dGd2tb6OSsuzixeV4y/faTqgFtohetphbbj0=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script><script src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5e185aa4d27bcf348400ed82/js/webflow.fedc37d5.97fdfdba08c88686.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-NM75P5X" height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript>   <noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-N8WJP5WS" height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript>   <script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8" src="//cookie-script.com/s/c5bae1b549d40dd7e5ab2070500d6960.js"></script>   <script type="text/javascript"> _linkedin_partner_id = "6049732"; window._linkedin_data_partner_ids = window._linkedin_data_partner_ids || []; window._linkedin_data_partner_ids.push(_linkedin_partner_id); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> (function (l) { if (!l) { window.lintrk = function (a, b) { window.lintrk.q.push([a, b]); }; window.lintrk.q = []; } var s = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; var b = document.createElement("script"); b.type = "text/javascript"; b.async = true; b.src = "https://snap.licdn.com/li.lms-analytics/insight.min.js"; s.parentNode.insertBefore(b, s); })(window.lintrk); </script> <noscript> <img height="1" width="1" style="display: none" alt="" src="https://px.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=6049732&fmt=gif" /> </noscript>  <script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/slick-carousel/1.9.0/slick.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fullPage.js/3.0.9/vendors/scrolloverflow.min.js" integrity="sha512-pYyQWhzi2lV+RM4GmaUA56VPL48oLVvsHmP9tuQ8MaZMDHomVEDjXXnfSVKXayy+wLclKPte0KbsuVoFImtE7w==" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fullPage.js/3.0.9/fullpage.min.js" integrity="sha512-Gx/C4x1qubng2MWpJIxTPuWch9O88dhFFfpIl3WlqH0jPHtCiNdYsmJBFX0q5gIzFHmwkPzzYTlZC/Q7zgbwCw==" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-nice-select/1.1.0/js/jquery.nice-select.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { $('.nice-change').niceSelect(); }); </script> <script> Webflow.push(function() { $('.inc-modal').click(function(e) { $.fn.fullpage.setAllowScrolling(false); }); $('.ro-modal-cross-wrapper').click(function(e) { $.fn.fullpage.setAllowScrolling(true); }); }); </script><style> .report-dropdown-item-in-short-point > * { list-style-type: disc; /* Adds bullet points */ margin-left: 1.5rem; /* Optional: Adds spacing for indentation */ display: list-item; /* Ensures bullet points appear */ } </style> <script defer src='https://files.fluco.studio/circle-economy/cgri/textile/survey.js'></script></body></html>
