TexPlus Releases Video on Circular Textile Chain

Why this is here: The video report features six partner organizations—Enschede Textielstad, Regionaal Textielsorteercentrum Twente, Twente Milieu, Frankenhuis, Saxion, and SaXcell—each with a defined role in the circular textile process.

Stichting TexPlus in the Netherlands released a video report, “Kracht van de Keten” (Strength of the Chain), revealing operations within its circular textile network. The report offers a look at partners including Enschede Textielstad, Twente Milieu, and Saxion. It shows how these groups collaborate on textile recycling, fiber development, and applied research.

TexPlus presents itself as a connecting force. It highlights the daily practices and the need for change within the textile sector. The video emphasizes regional collaboration and knowledge sharing as essential for a circular economy.

The launch coincides with increasing demands for transparency in the textile industry. The European Union aims to lead in circular economy by 2030, with textiles as a key sector.

Though the Netherlands aims for a fully circular economy by 2050, systemic change proves complex and requires continued cooperation. TexPlus hopes to inspire further partnerships and expansion of the circular textile chain.
