Collaboration is essential to unlocking true textile-to-textile recycling, and by joining forces with other industry leaders through the Alliance, we can help shape the policies and standards needed to accelerate circularity across the textile value chain.”

By GlobalDataResponsibilities of T2T Alliance
- Representing the views of textile-to-textile recyclers in EU law.
- Eliminating obstacles that impede T2T industry expansion and scalability.
- Assisting in formulating legal rules requiring T2T recycled content and recyclability in new textiles under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).
- Promoting a closed-loop textile recycling approach, encompassing post-industrial, pre-consumer, and post-consumer waste.
Recover’s entry into the T2T Alliance comes at a critical time as several legislative initiatives are set to revolutionise the European fashion industry.
These include the ESPR, the Circular Economy Act, the revised Waste Framework Directive introducing compulsory Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles, and the launch of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) to increase transparency and traceability.
Within the Alliance, Recover will concentrate on the traceability of recycled materials.
With growing awareness among brands and consumers about potentially misleading claims regarding recycled content, establishing a truly transparent and traceable textile supply chain is paramount. Improved traceability will facilitate genuine textile-to-textile circularity, reduce counterfeiting and prevent exaggerated claims about recycled content, ensuring verifiable sustainability declarations.
The Alliance is facilitated by 2B Policy, a consultancy that helps organisations manage complex regulatory environments.
Recover sustainability head Ana Rodes said: “At Recover, we joined the T2T Alliance because it is essential that policymakers hear the voice of textile-to-textile recyclers when shaping regulations that will drive circularity and competitiveness in our industry. By supporting and contributing to the Alliance, we can help ensure that our sector has the visibility it needs among policymakers and key stakeholders.”
