Director, Sector Integration
About us
TMC is an SME operating as a non-profit within the clothing industry. Our vision is to work towards zero impact from fibre fragmentation from textiles to the natural environment. TMC is the only company 100% focused to managing fibre fragmentation and release from textiles to the environment and are the go-to organization on this topic internationally.
Our commitment, The Microfibre 2030 Commitment, is a collaboration with the textiles sector through a cross-industry agreement. The agreement outlines key targets and the desired outputs of those targets through the Roadmap agenda and ensures a space and place for Signatories across the textiles industry to take meaningful, coordinated action.
Working at TMC
At TMC, we feel that it’s important to be curious and adventurous, always seeking out new approaches and learning from our mistakes as this will help us to achieve our vision.

We work within an ever-changing environment, so our People Commitment ensures that our team have regular feedback and career development sessions to make sure that they are doing okay and have all of the resources that they need in order to reach our combined vision.
