SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a Consumer Compact article looking at the importance of textile durability in a circular economy.

Only 1% of textiles on the planet are recycled. As we move towards a circular economic model, this needs to change and one of the main ways industry can support this is through making their products more durable.

SGS’s Consumer Compact article looks at how the circular economy will impact textile manufacturing, the issues surrounding recycling and the advantages of producing clothing products that are durable.
