GLOBAL MECHANISM FOR TEXTILE WASTE MITIGATION
Europe is collecting increasing volumes of used clothing, yet Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) systems neither control nor finance what happens to these textiles once they are exported. This pilot project addresses that gap — another step towards eliminating the blind spot within EPR systems.
EXTENDING RESPONSIBILITY BEYOND EUROPE
Exploring how to connect European EPR systems with end-of-life textile waste management in destination countries, closing the current gap in accountability.
END-TO-END FLOW TRACEABILITY
We measure and track textile flows at a macro level, generating verifiable data on their final destination and actual recovery outcomes.
FROM DATA TO FUNDED ACTION
We turn evidence into concrete financing mechanisms that support mitigation solutions in destination countries.
THE CHALLENGE
Textile collection in Europe continues to grow, yet Extended Producer Responsibility systems do not measure or manage what happens to exported textiles. The real impact is externalised without oversight or accountability.
WHAT WE DO
A pilot project designed to measure, track and validate the real impact of exported textile flows, while laying the foundations for integrating destination-country management into the European Extended Producer Responsibility framework.
APPLIED RESEARCH & COLLABORATION
We participate in R&D projects and international consortia to build the evidence and methodological frameworks the sector needs to make informed, data-driven decisions.
RESEARCH WITH DIRECT APPLICATION
We generate actionable knowledge through real-world projects, delivering results that can be transferred to the sector from day one.
MULTI-STAKEHOLDER COLLABORATION
We work alongside companies, public institutions and international organisations to address challenges that no single actor can solve independently.
SCALABLE METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORKS
We design tools and methodologies intended for sector-wide adoption, not just for use within a single project.
THE CHALLENGE
Without common methodologies, each stakeholder operates according to different criteria. This fragmentation slows the adoption of solutions and hinders the transition towards circular models at scale.
WHAT WE DO
We develop shared frameworks, methodologies and collaborative approaches that help align stakeholders, accelerate implementation and enable scalable circular solutions across the textile sector.
APP FOR MONITORING & TRACEABILITY
Development of a digital tool designed to measure and certify the real impact of textile recovery projects: accessible technology delivering environmental, social and economic results, with verifiable traceability throughout the entire value chain.
MULTIDIMENSIONAL IMPACT MEASUREMENT
Integrates environmental, social and economic indicators into a single reporting system, supported by structured and third-party auditable data.
VERIFIED END-TO-END TRACEABILITY
Each textile flow is recorded from its point of origin through to its final destination, creating a continuous data trail that supports reporting commitments.
CONTINUOUS DATA-DRIVEN OPTIMISATION
The system identifies deviations, compares performance and transforms field data into concrete operational improvement opportunities.
THE CHALLENGE
Textile recovery projects lack standardised tools to measure and communicate their impact. Without verifiable traceability and shared metrics, the system cannot effectively demonstrate its value to funders or regulators.
WHAT WE DO
An application that centralises data collection, standardises impact indicators and generates verifiable reports, designed to integrate seamlessly into existing operational workflows.
