About ReHubs.
ReHubs is a partnership based collaboration hub for textile recycling in Europe.
We are an international non-profit organisation and our goal is to set up a synergetic collective based on recycling hubs to industrially scale up the collecting, sorting, processing and recycling of textile waste.
Our mission is to reach
2.5 million tons recycled textile waste
in Europe by 2030.
Key Figures for the Circular Value Chain
7.5 million tons
of textile waste is generated in the EU in 2022
2.5 million tons
of textile waste is currently collected in Europe
4.5 million tons
of discarded textiles could be collected by 2030
There is potential scaling
from 1% fibre-to-fibre recycled in 2020
t0 18% in 2030
The textile value chain for recycling is not yet mature.
To transition from a linear to a circular textile value chain, five key parts of this value chain must be matured and scaled up:
→ collection
→ sorting for reuse
→ sorting for recycling
→ pre-processing
→ recycling
In addition, it is an opportunity for near-shoring and resources autonomy.
Our Approach
ReHubs coordinates collaboration and activates capacity and knowledge projects.
Capacity Projects
Capacity Project refers to an actionable business plan to generate a new capacity to turn textiles waste into value including: collection, sorting for reuse, sorting for recycling, pre-processing, recycling and other activities necessary to recycle textile waste.
Benefits for the Future
→ Recycling at Industrial Level
→ Quality Secondary Raw Materials
→ Cost Reduction
→ Circular Design
→ Digital Market Place
Knowledge Projects
Knowledge Project refers to studies to generate knowledge which is critical to turn textile waste into value including: industry knowledge or tools, studies on feedstock and product category developments and ESG impact assessments.
→ Setting a Global Example of Valuing Textile Waste
→ Creation of Know-How Platform
→ Guide SMEs to Circularity
→ Compliance with EU Green Deal
→ Circular Textile Value Chain
