Collective Circular Textile and Cibutex join forces

This press release was previously published by Collectief Circulair Textiel, the producer responsibility organisation for extended producer responsibility for textiles (EPR Textiles), which was founded by Fair Resource Foundation. Utrecht/Amsterdam, 24 September 2024 Collectief Circulair Textiel (CCT) and the cooperative Cibutex U.A. proudly announce that they have decided to cooperate intensively for the Extended Producer Responsibility for Textiles (EPR Textiles). CCT and cibutex As a producer responsibility organisation (PRO), CCT implements the extended producer responsibility for textiles in the Netherlands. As an impact-driven PRO, CCT focuses on sustainability and social added value. With inclusive governance and optimal transparency, CCT distinguishes itself from other producer responsibility organisations. Cibutex is a cooperative of companies from the business textile industry, with the aim of making this industry circular. Key pillars are joint pilot projects, textile-to-textile recycling, closed-loop solutions and building a like-minded and collaborative network. CCT and Cibutex have found each other in their shared ambition to make the textile industry cleaner, more sustainable and more circular. B2B Textiles On behalf of the entire textile sector, CCT implements the statutory objectives resulting from the EPR textiles scheme. Discussions on transparency and sustainability in the textile sector often focus on consumer textiles (fashion). Given the unique characteristics of the B2B textile flow, a custom-made solution is crucial. With Cibutex's knowledge of the B2B market, which mainly consists of workwear and professional bed and bath linen, cooperation is a logical choice. For the cooperation, CCT and Cibutex have set up a B2B textiles impact team, in which the specific interests of the B2B sector are represented. Mass CCT offers a custom-made system to textile producers, with a concrete representation of B2B companies. Cibutex and CCT therefore call on producers in this sector to choose CCT as their producer responsibility organisation before 2025 – for this, it is important to cancel any current PRO membership before 1 October 2024 – and thereby create direction and mass for a meaningful and well-thought-out implementation of the EPR obligations. Future The sector has long been calling for a targeted approach to B2B textiles within the EPR. The cooperation between Cibutex and CCT addresses this. It underlines their joint commitment to making a positive impact on both people and the environment. By combining their expertise and network, they are setting a new standard for processing B2B textile flows within EPR. This cooperation not only offers solutions for today's challenges, but also lays the foundation for the circular textile industry of the future. Furthermore, the ambition is to roll out this custom-made system in other European member states.
