ANTWERP - A new circular fashion project has been launched in a bid to reduce clothing waste by providing practical evidence of the potential of textile-to-textile recycling.
Clothing brands Decathlon, Petit Bateau, Bel & Bo, HNST and Xandres, as well as technical partners and research institutes, have so far signed up to the EU-funded SCIRT project.
They aim to develop, prototype and produce six different types of apparel, using post-consumer recycled fibres, including formal and casual wear, sportswear, underwear and uniforms.
