The Bankability Gap: What Textile-To-Textile Recycling Needs To Secure Funding
The technology to recycle textiles into textiles exists. The challenge now is making the business case to get the money to scale it. Accelerating Circularity presents findings from its new report on systemic bankability, before bringing industry stakeholders to the table to unpack the factors that make the sector bankable: from long-term offtake agreements to capital expenditure for new infrastructure, and feedstock price parity. Built for anyone who signs off on sourcing, capital, or investment decisions, the session closes by giving those in the audience a chance to ask questions.

Edd Denes, CEO at Accelerating Circularity.
