Partnership for circular progress – Nilörn joins Accelerating Circularity
Creating a circular future requires collective action, and Nilörn is committed to contributing to positive change in the textile industry.
We are pleased to join the Accelerating Circularity Initiative, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing circular systems that turn used textiles into new raw materials. Based in New York, Accelerating Circularity is supporting closed-loop systems across the textile and fashion industry.
Nilörn participates in two key working groups within the initiative:
CSTIM (Circular Systems for Trims and Ignored Materials)
This group collaborates with major suppliers of trims, adhesives, thread, laminates, and labels to address the challenges of identifying, removing, and/or recycling these often overlooked materials in textile-to-textile systems. The focus is on creating scalable solutions for feedstock flows and quality standards.
Building Markets Group Europe
Here, we engage in pilot projects across Europe. These pilots test textile-to-textile recycling, using post-consumer and post-industrial textiles as input for fiber, yarn, and fabric production, with the goal of making recycled textiles a viable standard material..
Through this collaboration, Nilörn supports efforts to mainstream recycled textiles within supply chains and pave the way for a more circular textile industry.
