NEW YORK – A new coalition comprising several circular solutions specialists has been launched in a bid to advance policy in the United States.
Led by the Circular Services Group (CSG) and Resource Recycling Systems (RRS), the American Circular Textiles (ACT) policy group will look to promote mechanisms capable of improving textile reuse rates and mitigating waste.
As one of its members, Rent the Runway’s head of sustainability, Megan Farrell, commented: “To take our collective work to the next level, we need solutions that will help scale textile recycling and reuse once a garment has reached the end of its wearable life. We’re happy to join ACT and drive progress on this important work together.”
