Circular Solutions for Cotton: Turning Textile Waste into Environmental Benefits

Join us to explore innovative solutions for improving circularity in the textile industry. Cotton naturally captures atmospheric carbon, converting it into cellulose fibers used in apparel. However, when cotton garments reach the end of their useful life, most end up in landfills, losing their carbon storage potential. We know textile supply chain and sustainability professionals are looking for scalable solutions. One promising approach is pyrolysis—a process that transforms cotton textile waste into biochar, permanently locking away biogenic carbon. In this webinar, Dr. Joe Sagues will explain the science behind pyrolysis and biochar derived from textiles, sharing insights into potential applications and recent research developments. Scott Kuhlman of Recircled will offer firsthand experiences from pilot projects, demonstrating how textile waste can successfully be converted into biochar at an industrial scale. Learn how this promising approach can help your organization meet sustainability goals, comply with evolving regulations, and create a more circular textile industry.
