Circular Textiles
We are passionate about supporting the circular economy and the aspirations of textile businesses in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly with the following aims:
– Promoting the use of recycled and sustainable materials
– Fostering innovative solutions in manufacture and processing
– Making use of local talent and resources to maintain a small carbon footprint and support the local economy
– Recognising the importance of quality, desirability and durability
– Joining the dots to create a complete garment life-cycle
Circular Textiles is part of the Arca Project, offered by the University of Exeter and Truro & Penwith College. The project is part-funded through the European Social Fund (part of the European Strategic Investment Framework for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly).
Our Circular Textiles directory is free and allows Cornish businesses large and small to connect and create a more sustainable and inspiring textiles industry in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
