Textiles 2030

Textiles 2030 is WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) award-winning, and ground-breaking initiative. It is a voluntary agreement, to be funded by its signatories and government. Signatories will collaborate on carbon, water and circular textile targets, and contribute to discussions around policy development for textiles in the UK. It harnesses the knowledge and expertise of UK leaders in sustainability to accelerate the UK fashion and textiles industry towards a circular economy.

[edit] Background

This voluntary agreement it builds on the learning and success of the Sustainable Clothing Action Plan (SCAP 2020) and aims to engage the majority of UK fashion and textiles organisations in collaborative climate action. Leading businesses for sustainability across clothing retail, supply, re-use and recycling, including SCAP signatories, will collaborate as ‘Partners’ on fast-tracking the UK Circular Economy.

Other fashion and textiles Brands and Retailers can sign up as ‘Member’ signatories and benefit from WRAP’s support in achieving a ready-made, science-based, robust climate strategy and measuring their GHG emissions. Innovators, Ground-breakers, Researchers, Academics and Industry membership groups can join as Affiliates to contribute their expertise.

[edit] The updates for 2022

Reskinned is collaborating with fashion brands as part of its pre-loved clothing scheme to find a new home for pre-loved clothes, offering take-back, sorting, resale and recycling services on behalf of retail partners.

The Salvation Army Trading Company is working with retail partners to help ‘close the loop’, by providing raw materials from their Fiber sort process for recycling. The innovative sorting technology, funding for which was administered by WRAP, sorts and grades non-wearable clothing and home textiles for recycling by fibre type, fibre blend and colour. Once sorted, these become valuable raw material for textile recyclers.
