Low Recycling Rates
Vast majority of textiles are landfilled or incinerated.
Synthetic Fiber Domination
Cheap fossil-fuel-based textiles continue to dominate.
Downcycling
What the industry calls “recycling” is mostly downcycling to lower-value products.
Authenticity Crisis
A lot of the certified organic cotton and recycled cotton is fake.
