Indonesia is prioritizing the textile industry for the circular economy to mitigate negative impacts on biodiversity and achieve zero-waste. This model creates green jobs and strengthens the economy. Circularity encompasses more than just recycling; it involves design, production, consumer behavior, technology, and policies like Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). IBCSD, alongside Asia Pacific Rayon and supported by the Embassy of Denmark, organized a multi-stakeholder discussion to identify priorities, share best practices (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refurbish, Renew), explore government roadmaps, and initiate joint pilot projects for textile circularity in Indonesia.
