White Paper: RFID for Circularity

Discover Strategies to Scale Sorting and Accelerate New Circular Revenues

While the textile industry's journey toward circularity has begun, progress remains slow. In the US, 11.3 million tons of textile waste end up in landfills each year. How can we turn the promise of circularity into practice? 

Our white paper, "RFID for Circularity: Unlocking circular business models for fashion through intelligent sorting," reveals how RFID technology provides the essential intelligence and scalability needed to transform textile waste from a burden to a resource and accelerate the adoption of circular business models at a commercial scale.

“The evidence is clear. Organizations that invest in RFID technology today will lead tomorrow's circular economy.”

Mathieu De Backer

VP, Enterprise IL innovation, Avery Dennison

In this white paper, you’ll learn about:

  • The manual sorting crisis: Why current manual processes are creating bottlenecks and preventing value recovery in textile waste.

  • The impact of critical new textile legislation, including the EU’s Digital Product Passport and global EPR schemes.

  • How consumer trends are driving textile circularity and influencing business models.

  • The RFID advantage: How embedded RFID technology like AD TexTrace™ provides accurate, automated identification needed for repair, resale, and advanced recycling.

  • Proven results from pilot projects with Texaid, ReCircled and ACS Clothing, demonstrating RFID’s impact on efficiency, accuracy and scalability.

  • Six actionable strategies for integrating RFID technology into your organization in a way that’s realistic and scalable.
