The Recycled Round Table is a global network aiming to increase the uptake of recycled fibers.

A close up macro view of polyester fibers.

About  
Textile Exchange is working to transform the fashion, textile, and apparel industry , with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fiber and raw material production by 45% by 2030.  We envision a future where no new virgin fossil-based  feedstocks are used, and all materials, whether synthetic or natural, come from recycled or renewable, sustainably managed sources. 
 
Our Recycled Round Table provides a forum for recycled fiber stakeholders to safely express and discuss challenges, compare experiences, and hear about the latest initiatives and forms of technology from leading thinkers.
