The Catalan Minister of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda and the director of ACR+ member ARC presented the Pact for Circular Fashion, together with representatives of the 55 companies and entities that have already signed this voluntary agreement to promote an urgent and necessary transformation of textiles, establishing common objectives and generating instruments that make this change possible.

The commitments made by the signatory organisations include reducing the generation of textile waste by between 5 and 10%; achieving between 25 and 30% in the selective collection of this fraction by 2024; and increasing the percentage of material recovery of the selectively collected part. Specifically, 55-60% should be used for preparing for re-use and 40-50% for recycling textile waste.
