The Circular Fashion Partnership (CFP) Indonesia celebrated a 1 year Progress Event under the theme “Building Momentum for Circular Textile Systems” in Yogyakarta. Led by the Global Fashion Agenda and Rantai Tekstil Lestari (RTL), the event brought together local and international stakeholders from the textile, garment and footwear sectors reflecting on achievements and outlining next steps.
Speakers shared insights on policy enablers for circular textiles, domestic waste ecosystem mapping. Panel discussions explored local industry perspectives on circular commercial collaborations and practical approaches for advancing a circular textile ecosystem in Indonesia.
The CFP is a collaborative industry initiative aimed at achieving a sustainable, fair, and scalable transition to a circular fashion system in Indonesia. It brings together over 120 stakeholders, including brands, manufacturers, recyclers, and government bodies, to develop systems for textile recycling and waste reduction.
The objective is to establish effective circular fashion systems in Indonesia by focusing on textile recycling, waste reduction, and increasing the use of recycled materials.The project is funded by the H&M Foundation and private sector contributions.
Key activities of the initiative includes working groups, training sessions to build capacity, and events to share knowledge and drive progress. By developing better systems for capturing and recycling textile waste, the partnership aims to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.
The program seeks to reduce the demand for virgin resources by increasing the supply of recycled materials. It aims to build local capacity for textile recycling and circular economy principles through training and knowledge sharing.
