Discover Refashion’s study on the release of micro-fragments from textiles, household linen and footwear !
A special issue signed Refashion x We Demain to discover, inspire and structure a sustainable textile industry.
Today, 3.6 billion textiles and clothing items are placed on the market, and two-thirds of them end up in residual household waste. Only 32% of volumes are separately collected and recovered.
Yet collection points, reuse centres, and players in reuse and recycling already exist in your area. They create local jobs, support circular economic ecosystems, and address concrete environmental challenges.
In this special issue published by Refashion and We Demain, discover concrete initiatives across your territories, from Roubaix to Grenoble, and from Marseille to Trélon. From collection and sorting to recycling, including repair and second-hand, these initiatives open up a new perspective, one of positive action.
Citywide collection schemes, recycling companies turning waste into new materials, pathways back into employment through inclusion, new repair professions, the vitality of craftsmanship, the circular economy is taking shape through concrete examples featured in this special issue dedicated to the textile transition.
Your local authority is a key driver of the transformation of the textile sector. You have the opportunity to take action and engage your citizens alongside you. Every collection effort, every awareness campaign, every local partnership is one more step toward a territory that consumes more responsibly.
Throughout the magazine, reports, portraits, and practical fact sheets come together to help you understand, get inspired, and take concrete action in your area.
