Tinder for Textiles
At Accelerating Circularity (ACP), our mission is to divert textiles from landfill for use in textile-to-textile recycling. We need to be the Tinder for textiles, making connections that meet shared desires.
Unlike Tinder, however, ideal “matches” in the case of circular textiles require compatibility with many others in the circular supply network. Think of it as needing to be matched with an entire community. Key to our work is to understand “what goes into” and “comes out of” every step in a circular supply network. This means that each step must have the right stuff for connections between each community member.
Our research is highlighting challenges for making the connections necessary for circularity.
