A pilot project in the Netherlands is exploring new ways to manage low-value mixed textile waste, focusing on unsellable textiles that would otherwise be incinerated.
This report summarizes insights from the pilot, examining how integrated biological and thermochemical processes can transform textile waste into regenerative outputs through practical circular recycling solutions.
It also highlights the development of a regional circular ecosystem in which recovered materials remain in continuous use, linking waste management, industrial innovation and market applications.
