Cradle to Cradle Material Sourcing: Circular Clothing Cooperation
Last updated: Mar 23, 2023
Summary
CIRCULAR CLOTHING is a network platform for Swiss textile labels. It provides access to a shared Cradle to Cradle® supply chain and a Cradle to Cradle Certified® certification.
Problem
Small and medium-sized labels face significant challenges when sourcing circular materials. This is due to small production sizes, limited human and financial resources, and lack of information.
Solution
CIRCULAR CLOTHING shares its knowledge as a toolbox with material samples, a guideline, workshops and lectures so that textile labels can better understand and meet the Cradle to Cradle Certified® requirements. This knowledge has been built up with its own fashion label use case.
The aim is to form a network that builds buying power to access suppliers providing the relevant materials and finishing technologies in affordable conditions.
Outcome
The cooperative has seven labels registered as members for now and is not limited to the Swiss borders but focuses on Europe.
