Textile

The textile sector is squeaking and creaking. Stocks are piling up, costs are rising and valuable raw materials are disappearing into the incinerator. Future Up shows that circular does work - with a sound business case. So that the Netherlands leads the way in tackling post-consumer waste.

Circular textiles? There is still a world to be won there.

Only one per cent of the sector is truly circular. Not surprising, with outdated legislation, linear production and a market full of cheap disposable fashion. Switching requires guts as well as systemic change.

Future Up is working on a scalable solution: more re-use, better processing and a revenue model that does make sense. With data, smart partnerships and pushing the right buttons.

Sustainable business We facilitate collaborations between circular solutions and textile producers and work on demand creation for circular textiles to accelerate the transition.
Data & Insight We use data to make clear what circular entrepreneurship delivers. Economically, socially and for the environment. This is how we help companies take steps towards a circular textile chain.
Tinkering with framework conditions With sharp lobbying and clear communication, we make clear how rules can be smarter, making circular textiles easier for companies.

About Transitions

Transitions works to change markets. Our programmes in agriculture transition, circular textiles and in the construction and infrastructure sectors show that it works. A transition programme is a programme to change a sector. We are currently doing that on biodiversity in food and agriculture, circularity in textiles and nature inclusiveness in the construction and infrastructure sector. What characterises such a Transition programme is that multiple parties together hold a solution to a societal problem. Future Up brings these parties together to change this market towards a better future.
