UK Textiles Pact (formerly Textiles 2030) is the UK’s leading voluntary initiative supporting businesses and organisations within the fashion and textiles industry to transition to more sustainable and circular practices by the end of the decade.
A collaborative approach
No single organisation can solve the climate crisis alone, through the UK Textiles Pact we bring key players from across the fashion and textiles value chain together to find circular solutions and overcome shared challenges.
Find out how we are working with each corner of the industry.
Ambitious targets
Our members are united behind ambitious, science-based 2030 targets, with progress measured annually using our exclusive WRAP Textiles Footprint Tool.
- 50% reduction in the overall carbon footprint of new textile products – in line with the Paris Agreement on climate change
- 30% reduction in the overall water footprint of new textile products
- Industry collaboration to achieve the UK Textiles Pact Circularity Roadmap ambitions
Priority action areas
To meet the UK Textiles Pact targets and transition to a circular economy, we must transform the way the UK produces, buys, uses and disposes of clothing and textiles.
Our members’ efforts are guided by three priority action areas in the UK Textiles Pact Circularity Roadmap, with consumer behaviour change at the heart of each.
-
Designing for circularity
Designing products that are durable and recyclable, use recycled content and minimise waste.
-
Implementing circular business models
Piloting and scaling-up new, innovative business models that extend product lifetimes.
-
Closing the loop on materials
Accelerating the commercialisation of fibre-to-fibre recycling in the UK.
-
Encouraging consumer behaviour change
Helping consumers understand how to make sustainable lifestyle changes.
