About the session

What’s covered

How can the textile supply chain regenerate natural systems and drive economic growth by applying circular economy principles? How can waste textiles be transformed into biomaterials that support Earth’s natural systems?

Natural textiles like cotton, wool and hemp have the potential to restore ecosystems and support local economies. But achieving a regenerative textile system requires effectively recapturing materials, eliminating toxic chemicals, and strengthening markets for textile waste. Opportunities span the entire textile lifecycle—from restoring degraded farmland for textile crop production to transforming waste into biomaterials that align with nature’s processes. Through real-world pilot projects and full value chain initiatives, this session explores how diverse stakeholders are advancing a circular, regenerative textile system.
