Fashion also wants its circularity. The MacArthur Foundation Vision


The circularity of the economy is not made only by sectors that are apparently, to the public opinion, more visibly polluting, but must be applied to all types of production industrial. Fashion, for example, is not perceived as a polluting supply chain by the population, but the data of experts do not support this popular feeling, if we consider that every second the quantity of a truckload of textile materials is sent to landfill or burned. RadiciGroup, through the latest information, takes charge of the problem.


RadiciGroup, partner of Ellen MacArthur Foundation's “Make Fashion Circular” initiative since 2018, recently participated in the drafting of the guidelines on circularity in fashion drawn up by association and based on the principles of the circular economy, with the aim of offering a concrete contribution to the reduction of waste in the textile-clothing world.

Guidelines to be implemented as soon as possible if you think about the data quantified by EMF: every second, the equivalent of a truck of textile materials is sent to landfill or burned . It is estimated that approximately $ 500 billion in value is lost each year due to occasionally worn and rarely recycled clothing.

The new "Vision of a Circular Economy for fashion" starts from the assumption that it is necessary to work together to bring profitable business models to an industrial scale, which however allow to rent, resell or launder clothes more easily. That's why it's based on in-depth research and contributions from around 100 organizations including fabric manufacturers, apparel manufacturers, brands, retailers, collectors, selectors, recyclers, academics, international institutions, and NGOs.

Three key points of the vision: use more, reuse, start from renewable or recycled materials.

RadiciGroup, manufacturer of polyamide yarns but also polyester and acrylic, is a "contributor" to the new EMF vision, providing expertise and experience in the formulation of solutions textiles able to realize the circular economy.
