It is reported that about 5.8 million tonnes of textiles are discarded every year in the EU, approximately or incinerated.

The trend of using garments for ever shorter periods, also known as fast-fashion,  before throwing them away contribute the most to unsustainable patterns of overproduction and overconsumption.

Today, as we accept the realities of climate change, this can no longer continue.

The time has come for the industry to search for more sustainable materials, better recycling options, and increasing awareness of their environmental footprint.

The new EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles sets out the vision and concrete actions to ensure that by 2030 textile products placed on the EU market are long-lived and recyclable, made as much as possible of recycled fibres, free of hazardous substances and produced in respect of social rights and the environment.

CMT’s 2nd Biobased & Recycled Textiles will gather all players in the supply chain to share innovations and bring together brilliant discussions with regulatory updates on the EU sustainable textiles strategy.

The program is ideally constructed  with a promising list of speakers to discuss new ideas on Biobased materials and also technologies on textile to textile recycling.

Key Highlights:

• Commercialising textile recycling systems
  
• Making the fully closed loop textile2textile loop possible - scaling up in a local supply chain
  
• Development of recycling processes for cellulose fibers
  
• Innovations from regenerative to biodesigned denim for a more sustainable future
  
• Next generation biomaterials for fashion & footwear market
  
• Extracting cellulose from agricultural feedstock such as hemp and flax residues, for transformation into versatile textile fibers
  
• Converting algae into bio-fiber & eco friendly dye
  
• Peelsphere - Bio-innovation material born at the intersectionality of aesthetics, design, and material science
  
• Smart recycling of natural leather fibres from traceable pre consumer leather wastage
  
• Low cost & scalable revolutionary process to textile dyeing through synthetic biology
  
• DNA Traceability Solutions From Fibre to the Finished Garment
