Dutch-Bangladesh project targets cotton circularity boost

DHAKA – Cotton industry network Raddis Cotton and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) have launched a new three-year project which aims to boost circularity across Bangladesh’s textile supply chain through regenerative cotton farming, garment waste recovery and fibre-to-fibre recycling.

The Cotton Loop Bangladesh Impact Cluster, funded by the RVO, brings together Dutch retailers Zeeman, Company Fits and Common Era, alongside the country’s Avans University of Applied Sciences, circular textile and fashion platform Clean & Unique, and advisory firm Advance Consulting.
