Australia announces $350,000 investment in Circular Textile Association

  

Australia is investing $350,000 in Australian Circular Textile Association to tackle 800,000 tons of clothing and textiles waste generated by citizens every year. As per reports, the government will host a national roundtable on the issue, bringing together representatives of retail, fashion, charity, production, research and waste management to curb the dumping of textiles. According to the Association, parents who have just been purchasing school uniforms and trades getting ready for the year ahead will contribute 12,000 tons of branded uniforms alone to landfill in the next 12 months. ACTA announced a new initiative, Circular Threads to investigate new technologies to separate and repurpose fabrics from used clothes, and create remanufacturing opportunities.

Camille Reed, Founder, CEO, ACTA believes, the problem needs an industry led approach to find the ways to break down clothing elements and re-use individual components and the fabrics themselves.
