ACT UK ATSP RFQ Site & Permits

Automatic-sorting for Circularity in Textiles (ACT UK) is a two-year project supported with funding from Innovate UK and led by UK Fashion & Textile Association (UKFT). The project brings together a consortium of recycling technologies, textile collectors/sorters, academia, manufacturers, industry associations, technologists and brands/retailers. It is part of a broader Circular Fashion Programme supported by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

The aim of the project is to establish the blueprint for an innovative Advanced Textile Sorting and Pre-processing facility (ATSP), which would take in non-reusable textiles and deliver this as feedstock for fibre-to-fibre recyclers. This will prepare the UK market for transition to textiles circularity. Find out more about ACT UK here.
