The role of local authorities

Local authorities are an essential link in the textile chain

As local authorities, you are major players in the clothing, household linen and footwear industry. 

Through your presence on the ground, you have the ability to coordinate and inform, contribute to collection and, above all, get people involved.

We can work together to drive the growth of the local circular economy.

Local authorities play an active role in the textile industry

Through your day-to-day activities, you play a key role in the transition of the clothing and footwear industry.

By working directly with local communities, players in the social and solidarity economy, collection operators and elected officials, you are helping to establish the circular economy at local level.

Your unique position allows you to:

  • Make waste sorting easier
  • Encourage responsible consumer practices
  • Create a network of local collection points.

Refashion and local authorities: a partnership on the ground

As a local authority with responsibility for waste collection and/or processing, you have a real impact in your area:
