This report—Destinations of Dutch Used Textiles: Uses and Risks after Export— explores what happens to textiles collected in the Netherlands in their various destination countries and highlights the impacts and risks associated with these exports as well as how they are addressed. 

‍This study aims at empowering the government and value chain stakeholders to better contribute to the creation of a circular and fair value chain for post-consumer textiles.

Servitization is a growing phenomenon to improve resource efficiency, leading to positive effects for the environmental and for society. Product service systems are one of the most effective instruments to attain a resource-efficient circular economy.This report demonstrates an economic feasibility assessment, by examining two examples of servitization for circularity in the apparel and fashion industry, and outlining potential business models, along with prospects for future research.

In recent years the increased awareness of the need for conservation of resources and environmental sustainability has brought a focus on the potential for a circular economy in textiles and fashion. Commissioned by the Region of Västra Götaland, a number of investigations were carried out during 2015-2019, related to redesign, reuse and recycling of textile materials and products, at the Swedish School of Textiles and Science Park Borås.

The objectives of the reports, where feasibility is a keyword, is to develop structures for circular processes in the textile industry, in order to create new business opportunities and use less planetary resources. The focus is to design for longevity, through conditional design, redesign and remanufacturing and service innovation, and to ensure that the resulting circular processes are technically, organizationally, and economically feasible.
