New initiatives on scaling-up textile recycling in Europe

ReHubs announced its upcoming textile recycling strategy, designed as an industry-wide roadmap and portfolio of initiatives to scale textile-to-textile recycling and overcome the supply-demand deadlock. 

ReHubs is a partnership-based collaboration hub focused on scaling up textile recycling in Europe. Its aim is to build industrial capacity for collecting, sorting, processing, and recycling textile waste.

ReHubs’ strategy rests on two pillars: end-to-end supply chain management to deliver reliable, cost-competitive recycled fibres, and financing orchestration to mobilise and de-risk around €6 billion in investment. Targets include recycling 2.5 million tons of textile waste by 2032 (35–40% of EU total) and creating up to 10,000 jobs. 

The new strategy will be unveiled on 22 September 2025, with wider industry engagement planned at the Dornbirn Global Fibre Congress and Circular Textile Days.
