Fashion and Textiles

We are working to change how the fashion and textiles industries purchase, use, and recycle textiles and clothes.

Fashion and textiles represent a large part of the global economy. The industry employs close to an estimated 100 million people and has a value of up to $3 trillion. Much of the employment is labour-intensive and provides subsistence to many developing economies. It also causes a tremendous impact on the environment with increased usage of fast fashion and other trends.

We are working to change how the fashion and textiles industries purchase, use, and recycle textiles and clothes. We’re bringing the industry together for dramatic change. Our cross-industry collaboration agreements reduce carbon, water, and waste in textile supply chains while also bringing firms from all over the world together to accelerate progress toward a circular textiles economy.
