Circular textiles research: Recycling technologies Miguel Sanchis Sebastiá, CEO of ShareTex and Ola Wallberg, Professor at Lund University, unpack research and innovation within circular textiles sector, explaining the role of recycling technologies in a larger strategy. Fashion has been identified as a priority sector needing innovation and transformation to reduce its environmental impact, so that the carbon-neutrality goals of the European Union can be achieved. Innovation is required to transform several aspects of this value chain so a completely new, more environmentally friendly system can be created. Increasing recycling rates has a vital role to play in this holistic strategy, although it is crucial to understand that no solution can transform the whole system on its own.
