We do this together with chain partners such as municipalities, collectors, sorters, and recyclers. Producers and chain partners actively contribute ideas about the solutions needed to achieve the objectives. In this way, the sector \u2013 in close consultation with chain partners \u2013 determines what works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We organise collaboration across the chain, encourage innovation, provide insight into data, and keep costs realistic. In addition, we focus on sharing knowledge, aligning efforts, and harmonising systems in other EU countries. With a level playing field in the EU as our goal, we can work together as effectively and efficiently as possible towards a circular textile chain in the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our strength lies in the combination of expertise, coordination, and collective impact. This is how we make circularity achievable for the entire sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/buttons\" class=\"mt-4 lg:mt-6\" >\n\t\t\n\t\t<ul class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-2 md:gap-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n<a\n\tdata-variant=\"secondary\"\n\tdata-size=\"default\"\n\tclass=\"group inline-flex items-center justify-center cursor-pointer font-medium text-lg disabled:opacity-10 disabled:pointer-events-none aria-disabled:opacity-10 aria-disabled:pointer-events-none px-5 min-h-[54px] border-2 border-sky bg-sky text-navy hocus:border-navy hocus:bg-navy hocus:text-sky gap-5\"\n\n\t\n\t\t\thref=\"https&#x3A;&#x2F;&#x2F;www.stichtingupvtextiel.nl&#x2F;en&#x2F;cases&#x2F;\"\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t>\n\t\n\t\t\t<span data-button-text class=\"shrink-0\">\n\t\t\tCheck out our cases\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<span class=\"relative flex items-center justify-between w-full min-w-10 icon-long-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t<span class=\"relative w-full h-[2px] bg-current block rounded-l-2xl\"><\/span>\n\t<svg width=\"9\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 9 16\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"absolute -right-[2px]\">\n\t\t<path d=\"M8 9C7.44771 9 7 8.55228 7 8C7 7.44772 7.44772 7 8 7L8 9ZM8.70721 7.29289C9.09773 7.68342 9.09773 8.31658 8.70721 8.70711L2.34324 15.0711C1.95272 15.4616 1.31955 15.4616 0.92903 15.0711C0.538506 14.6805 0.538506 14.0474 0.929031 13.6569L6.58589 8L0.929034 2.34315C0.53851 1.95262 0.53851 1.31946 0.929034 0.928932C1.31956 0.538408 1.95272 0.538408 2.34325 0.928932L8.70721 7.29289ZM8 8L8 7L8.0001 7L8.0001 8L8.0001 9L8 9L8 8Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/>\n\t<\/svg>\n<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For and by the sector We are Stichting UPV Textiel.
