TEXTILES ARE TOO
GOOD TO WASTE
TM
Our mission is to build circular systems that turn used textiles into new raw materials
Impact in Action
We’re turning commitment into measurable progress.
Through our Clinton Global Initiative Commitment to Action, Accelerating Circularity is working with partners across the value chain to scale textile-to-textile recycling.
These numbers represent more than metrics — they show the collective effort of brands, recyclers, collectors, and innovators building a system where textiles become raw materials for new products.
Connection. Action. Transformation.
These aren't just words — they're the foundation of every program we run.
Together with our partners, we're testing, scaling, and shaping the future of circular textiles. Discover our programs and join the movement.

Mapping Secondhand Material Flows
Systemic Bankability of Textile-to-Textile Recycling
Textile-to-textile recycling is stuck in the missing middle. The technologies exist, but the capital to deploy them at scale is not available.
This framework asks one question of each recycling route: on what terms, if any, will commercial capital carry this technology's risks today.
