ReHubs is a partnership-based collaboration hub working to industrially scale up the collecting, sorting, processing and recycling of textile waste in Europe.
Unlocking the potential of connectivity and intelligence, ReHubs is dedicated to shifting the apparel and textile industry towards a circular business model.
ReHubs orchestrates collaboration and triggers capacity and knowledge projects to boost the adoption of recycled fibres throughout the value chain.
Our mission is to reach
2.5 million tons recycled textile waste
in Europe by 2030
7.5 million tons
of textile waste was generated
in the EU in 2022
Key Figures for the Circular Value Chain
2.5 million tons
of textile waste is currently collected in Europe
4.5 million tons
of discarded textiles could be collected by 2030
There is potential scaling from 1% fibre-to-fibre recycled in 2020 to 18% in 2030.
However, the textile value chain for recycling is not yet mature.
To transition from a linear to a circular textile value chain, five key parts of this value chain must be matured and scaled up:
→ collection
→ sorting for reuse
→ sorting for recycling
→ pre-processing
→ recycling
​
​In addition, it is an opportunity for near-shoring and resources autonomy.
Our Approach
ReHubs coordinates collaboration and activates capacity and knowledge projects.
Capacity Projects
Capacity Project refers to an actionable business plan to generate a new capacity to turn textiles waste into value including: collection, sorting for reuse, sorting for recycling, pre-processing, recycling and other activities necessary to recycle textile waste.
Knowledge Projects
Knowledge Project refers to studies to generate knowledge which is critical to turn textile waste into value including: industry knowledge or tools, studies on feedstock and product category developments and ESG impact assessments.
