and innovative businesses; fashion brands and retailers; and textile
collection, sorting and recycling companies. Other target groups
that can support new initiatives are also invited, for example
research institutes, the financial sector, governments, consumers
and commercial customers and supply chain partners. The DCTV
supports the primary target groups with the effectuation of their
circular solutions, while the other target groups are involved to
help create the market.
The DCTV’s objective is to create a circular textile chain by 2030
which closes loops of products, materials and resources, and utilises
new business models and all the 10 R’s of the circularity ladder.
To achieve that goal, the DCTV wants to mobilise the combined
strength of innovative companies in four regional hubs: Twente,
Tilburg, Arnhem-Wageningen and the Amsterdam Metropolitan
Area. These hubs reflect past and present-day economic strengths
connected to textiles, fashion and clothing. Each is characterised
by a specific focus area: Twente with high-grade recycling; Tilburg
with circular workwear; Arnhem and Wageningen with design and
new (bio-based) materials; and the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area
with circular brands and business models. Each hub is coordinated
by one or more transition brokers.
