Circular Soundbites: Episode 3
Driving circularity through collaboration
Collaboration is one of the biggest challenges, and opportunities, in the transition to a circular textile economy.
In this episode of Circular Soundbites: Thread Talks, Anaïs De Bergeyck, Policy Officer for Sustainable Businesses at Euratex, shares a Europe-wide perspective on how organisations can move beyond ambition and start delivering circular outcomes at scale.
Across the textile value chain, progress is often slowed by fragmented systems, competitive silos, and a lack of shared infrastructure. Many of the barriers to circularity are not technical, they’re organisational.
In this conversation, we explore:
- Why collaboration is critical to scaling circular solutions
- How pre-competitive spaces enable data sharing and alignment
- The role of regulation, including EU textile EPR and Digital Product Passports
- What businesses need to do to move from insight to implementation
As regulatory pressure increases and expectations grow, organisations will need to work together in new ways to enable reuse, repair, and recycling at scale.
