Fashion for Good and Textile Exchange Team Up to Trace Textile Waste
AMSTERDAM - Fashion for Good and Textile Exchange introduce the Tracing Textile Waste Project, a two-year, multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at harmonising data and system capabilities in the reverse supply chain. This project seeks to create alignment through an open-source data template and a glossary of terms. It will establish and validate a standardised framework for collecting and exchanging textile waste data between the point of origin and recyclers. A key objective is to deliver recommendations to Textile Exchange for the development of new and existing standards, including the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and Recycled Claim Standard (RCS).
