The textile business of Milliken & Company announced its participation in two commercial textile-to-textile U.S. product trials with Accelerating Circularity. Serving as the fabric manufacturer in both trials, Milliken will be developing two separate garments—a polyester Polartec Fleece and a cotton/polyester twill—that will be manufactured at scale.
According to the EPA, approximately 16.9 million tons of textile waste go to landfills. The U.S. trials are designed to assist Accelerating Circularity in proving a functioning textile-to-textile circular supply chain that reduces textile waste is possible.
