- Thursday, October 19, 2023
@ 12:00 AM

This event will bring together relevant stakeholders (e.g., textile industry professionals, sorters/graders, recyclers, sustainability professionals) to discuss what standards are needed to help facilitate circularity for textiles. Some of the needs that have been previously identified are more harmonized input specifications for recycling processes, harmonized terminology, needs for textile sorting, digital identifiers, and circular design. It is sponsored by ASTM Committee D13 on Textiles and E60 on Sustainability, with support from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC). The workshop will also educate the textile circularity industry about the role of ASTM International and AATCC, the consensus standards development process, and the roles that ASTM International and AATCC can play in fulfilling those needs.
