About the Textiles Circularity Centre (TCC)

The TCC envisions a future where bio waste is used to manufacture textiles to build a UK supply chain of circular biomaterials for the SME apparel-fashion industry; where cooperation replaces competition between brands who differentiate themselves using advanced manufacturing; where citizens are no longer consumers, but custodians.

Our research

Envisioning a future circular textiles economy

This is the journey of our bio waste resource flow. How it transforms as it flows through a circular system from bio-refining of bio waste to design, manufacturing and recycling of textiles and products to consumption of products, and use, and reuse. This is a human-centred design story.
