Fashion for Good launches Project FAE (Feedstock Activation Europe) to develop the sorting and pre-processing infrastructure needed to channel non-rewearable post-consumer textiles into textile-to-textile (T2T) recycling at scale. The project is a practical response to one of the most pressing problems in textile circularity: making post-consumer waste a viable, commercially competitive raw material for recyclers.
Led by Fashion for Good, the project unites brand partners adidas, BESTSELLER and Inditex, alongside a wide network of sorters, recyclers, and ecosystem partners working together to turn findings into lasting infrastructure change.
Project FAE aims to:
Assess the feasibility of advanced pre-processing technologies, from fibre blend separation to elastane removal and contaminant extraction
Develop a framework for large-scale regional sorting and pre-processing hubs that produce feedstock tailored to recycler specifications
Build a practical, commercial framework the wider industry can act on, turning post-consumer waste into a viable, competitive raw material for textile-to-textile recycling.
