Regional hub
Metropolitan Region of Amsterdam
Circular Textiles Amsterdam has been created to strengthen the circular textile ecosystem in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area by connecting existing initiatives, reducing fragmentation and creating more visibility, collaboration and shared direction across the region. It has identified ten circular textile deals to work on.
The Amsterdam region focusses on two pillars:
- Circular Culture, Behaviour and Market Transformation. Deals that help shift how people buy, use, repair, reuse, swap, value or engage with textiles. This can include circular business models, consumer engagement, storytelling, repair, resale, rental, reuse, creative campaigns, behavioural insights or market transformation.
- Towards a Vibrant Amsterdam Circular Textile District. Projects that help strengthen the circular textile ecosystem in the Amsterdam region. This can include entrepreneurship, shared infrastructure, physical spaces, creative hubs, education, skills development, data, knowledge exchange, ecosystem coordination or new collaborations.
De belangrijkste projecten zijn: de Textielhub Amsterdam, CircoLab, AMFI Lighthouse, De Klerenpartij, de Community of Practice bedrijfskleding (CoP), PFAS-vrije zorgschorten, het Knitwearlab, DenimCity en circulair textiel in de stads-winkelcentra.
