What is Textile Movement?

Textile Movement is an arena for change and movement to drive the circular transition within textile and fashion.

We aim to provide the best conditions for a circular textile and fashion industry here in Western Sweden and across Europe. We believe that collaborations and partnerships are the only way forward to create new business opportunities through scalable circular solutions and, of course, to inspire and motivate each other to progress.

Who are behind Textile Movement?

Textile Movement was founded by the following stakeholders with the goal to collectively strengthen and assist actors within the Textile and Fashion industry in successfully transitioning and scaling up circular business models. The founders have expertise in areas such as circular design, local production and micro-factories, talent and skills development, textile collection, sorting, and recycling, production technology innovation, and testbeds for sustainable consumption.

How is Textile Movement funded?

Until December 2023 the project is funded by Västra Götaland Region, the European Regional Development Fund and the 14 organizations that founded the initiative. From 2024 onwards, we welcome partnerships and additional funders to further strengthen our ability to drive circular transition and create the textile and fashion industry of the future.
