Recycling of man-made fibres - challenges and solutions towards a textile circular economy
Duration: 60 Minutes
Under the umbrella of the EU Green Deal, the European Commission intends to develop a strategy on "Circular Textile Economy". A strategy adopted by the Commission is expected in 2022.
The circular economy will have a profound impact also on the future of the manmade fiber industry and open up many new opportunities.
