• Recycling Supply Chain Trials
• Business Case for Circular Textile Ecosystem

Through ACT UK, we are not only looking at the development of the ATSP blueprint for the UK, but also providing a proof of concept for a circular textiles ecosystem.

ACT UK is running recycling trials with the aim to prove that non-rewearable post-consumer textiles can successfully be processed into new fibres through fibre-to-fibre recycling systems. In these trials, post-consumer textiles are sorted and prepared as feedstock for recycling systems and transformed into new fibre and yarn.

The project is analysing current and future scenarios of non-rewearable textiles flow in the UK, including its socio-economic and environmental impact. This is to build the positioning of the UK’s future textiles recycling landscape and next phase UK manufacturing.
