Textile recycling
Environmental concern will not go away by ignoring it. Our focus area: Recycling and reuse must be based on solid business cases. Without profits nothing happens. Taking care of the environment is the most strategic activity of any company. The absence of a clear measurable environmental policy, followed by targeted actions will make any company irrelevant in the near future.
But is all starts with a clear vision. Knowing what is going on in the outside world is vital for your environmental position: changing customer demands, new market segments arising, and of course finding your way through the vast amount of research going on globally.
Building mental images based on market/customer scenarios and technology roadmaps are required to develop a useful products based on recycled textiles. It requires a balanced mix of short, medium and longer term projects. Projects that are selected for the right reasons: People-Planet-Profit/Prosperity. Without profit expectations and solid value propositions nothing will happen.

TexAlert 12-4
Aan het eind van het jaar is het goed om even terug te kijken en vooruit te blikken. Covid heeft ons bewust gemaakt van onze kwetsbaarheid en niet
alles bleek maakbaar.
TexAlert 12-3
We leven in een tijd waarin alles anders is dan we tot voor kort gewend waren. Corona heeft een aantal dingen grondig veranderd: hoe we met elkaar omgaan, hoe we vergaderen en hoe we over elkaar denken.
TexAlert 12-2
Textiele duurzaamheid is een onderwerp dat steeds meer aandacht behoeft. Niet alleen omdat de textielindustrie vaak geframed wordt als ”de 2e meest vervuilende industrie”
TexAlert 12-1
In delen van de wereld lijkt de pandemie wat af te zwakken, doordat een deel van de bevolking is gevaccineerd. Nederland zit nog altijd in een lock- down. Het lijkt er op dat dit de industriële bedrijvigheid echter maar beperkt schaadt.
