In all Nordic countries there is a great potential for increased reuse and recycling of textiles ending up in the residual waste streams. Thus there could also be a potential to build up a Nordic capacity for mechanical recycling of textiles in an industrial perspective. The project aims to explore these potentials, and propose a common Nordic strategy for improving infrastructure for collection, sorting and reuse/recycling of textiles that can also be a competitive advantage for Nordic business. This strategy could be used as a basis for Nordic Governments and other stakeholders to develop possible new instruments and measures.
