Textile Recycling Market Executive Summary

Unifi Inc., guided by its Chief Product Officer Meredith Boyd, has revitalized textile-to-textile recycling—turning factory waste into Repreve fibers—thus preserving jobs and maintaining a domestic supply chain while partnering with brands like Nike and Patagonia.

The elevated environmental awareness and the growth in the levels of textile waste are pushing worldwide apparel-producing brand names to incorporate recycling in the base of their business. In 2024, H&M Group has extended its garment collection program in stores to all of Europe, further backing its move toward a circular economy through the recovery of post-consumer textiles.

On the other hand, increasing cost of raw materials is prompting the firms to resort to recycled materials to help decrease reliance on virgin materials. In May 2025, Indorama Ventures reported increased output at the recycled polyester plant it owns in France benefiting from textile waste as a source to maintain the same input prices and achieve sustainability goals. Such efforts indicate a transition towards economically constrained (but voluntary) recycling incorporation. Raw material cost volatility and brand-led supply chain innovations are discretely adding to the steady acceleration of the market.

Adjacent opportunities include the growth of recycled textile-based insulation materials in construction, increasing demand for sustainable packaging using textile waste fibers, and innovations in chemical recycling technologies for fiber regeneration. These sectors are growing with the textile recycling together since they both have sustainability objectives.

Textile Recycling Market Market Overview

Textile Recycling Market Dynamics and Trends

Driver:  Rising Government Regulations Supporting Circular Economy is Encouraging Textile Recycling Initiatives

  • The global textile recycling market is growing on a large scale because governments in both developed and emerging economies are enacting strict measures to ensure that the practice of textile recycling becomes a reality in the textile industry through the application of principles of a circular economy. The European Union Waste Framework Directive and other regulations like the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) are forcing brands to handle the disposal of their post-consumer textile materials by participating in in-house recycling or through partnership with recyclers.
  • As an example, in early 2025, Adidas has released a completely recyclable shoe line-Futurecraft.Loop 2.0 that is within its commitment to the EU Green Deal which is produced through exclusive usage of recyclable polyester and closed-loop supply chains. Due to the alignment of its product development towards the benchmark of regulatory requirements, Adidas can not only expect to stay compliant, as well as improve its ESG standing in the process.

Restraint: Infrastructural Limitations in Sorting and Recycling Facilities are Hindering Market Scalability

  • Although the awareness levels and the participation of the brands have increased, the textile recycling market remains limited by the harsh infrastructural dearth in the gathering, fiber separation, and processing. Textile waste is heterogeneous, consisting of blends that cannot be recycled in the mainstream, in a mechanical or chemical way, simply because the recycling of these sophisticated materials requires highly specific technologies.
  • The absence of standardized sorting technologies contaminates and creates inefficiencies in the recycling process, narrowing the potential scale of recycling activities. In 2025, Levi Strauss & Co claimed that almost a third of the post-consumer garments that they had collected could not be processed because of the lack of the available sorting infrastructure that would distinguish between synthetic and natural fibers.
  • Accordingly, a significant part of the recyclable textiles still occupies landfills or incinerators in spite of collection efforts. In the absence of powerful sorting technology and decentralized recycling facilities, widespread implementation of textile recycling is both logistically and financially difficult.

Opportunity: Expansion of Recycled Textile Applications in Automotive and Furniture Sectors is Creating New Revenue Streams

  • Even outside apparel, there are new markets with lucrative adjacent opportunities as more textile recyclates go into non-traditional applications like car interiors and furniture upholstery, further diversifying profitable uses of the materials. Automotive OEMs face pressure to incorporate sustainable materials into the process of vehicle manufacture so as to comply with restricting emission and end-of-life regulations.
  • In 2025, BMW partnered with Swedish company Renewcell to create the interiors of its cars using Circulose, a patent material made out of recycled fabrics, and this contrasted with virgin inputs. IKEA, similarly, recently announced the launch of furniture covers made of eco-fiber, which is composed of post-consumer cotton waste, further supporting the use of circular resources into its product range. These advances immensely highlight the growing recycling market beyond fashion-centric cycles into industrial and consumer goods usage.
  • The recyclers can now have diversified revenue sources, which can allow them to up-scale operations and receive more investment.

Key Trend: Technological Innovation in Fiber-to-Fiber Recycling is Transforming Material Recovery Efficiency

  • A prominent shift towards fiber-to-fiber chemical recycling technologies is changing the textile recycling landscape, as such technologies can handle blended textiles at high recovery rates. In contrast to mechanical processing technologies, such innovations bring fibers back to near-virgin quality, which allows manufacturers to reuse them in high-performance products.
  • In 2025, Infinited Fiber Company opened its first commercial-scale facility in Finland, producing regenerated textile fiber “Infinna” from polycotton and waste garments. Brands such as Patagonia and GANNI already apply this fiber to their spring collections, which proves its business feasibility. These technologies are overcoming recycling-related obstacles that have been present since day one, since they allow older, more complex textile mixtures to be processed and recycled.
  • The innovations will most likely turn into groundbreaking, transforming the processes of material flow in the textile market and reinforcing the feasibility of the closed-loop system as they become more affordable and accessible.

Textile Recycling Market Analysis and Segmental Data

Textile Recycling Market Segmental Focus

High Demand for Recycled Polyester Driven by Brand Commitments and Circular Manufacturing

  • Polyester dominates the textile recycling market due to its widespread use in apparel, sportswear, and home furnishings, making it the most abundant recyclable synthetic fiber. In January 2025, Nike massively incorporated recycled polyester throughout Dri Fit lineage to incorporate post-consumer PET and polyester waste, a step that would tie in with its Move to Zero initiative. Brands have and continue to turn to recycled polyester (rPET) because it is durable and retains performance characteristics and provides lower carbon footprint than virgin polyester.
  • As environmental awareness increases and the market seeks more environmentally friendly products, manufacturers have moved to adopt rPET as a way of establishing regulatory and ESG goals. High-volume, low-cost polyester recovery is also favored by the availability of mature mechanical recycling technologies. The high demand of rPET is bolstering the future of polyester as the foundation of scalable textile recycling.

Asia Pacific Leads Textile Recycling Due to Industrial Scale and Regulatory Push

  • Asia Pacific has the maximum demand in the textile recycling market because of its lead in global textile production and the increasing pressure to deal with post-industrial and post-consumer waste. Arvind Limited, an Indian textile exporter, began its zero-waste denim production program in 2025, when it introduced the use of recycled cotton and polyester fibres at scale in its manufacturing facilities in Gujarat.
  • India, China and Bangladesh, among others, produce enormous quantities of textile waste, and, therefore, domestic textile manufacturers consider recycling to minimize the environmental burden and to achieve cost reduction. Moreover, the governments of the region are also encouraging sustainability by introducing their own incentives and waste management laws. China’s 2024 Circular Economy Action Plan set mandatory recycling quotas for large textile factories, pushing manufacturers to integrate recyclates into their value chains.
  • The region is quickly turning into a textile ecosystem hotspot due to policy support and an easy supply of inexpensive labour. The adoption of textile recycling in Asia Pacific is being fast-tracked by its integrated supply chains and the policy requirement.

Textile Recycling Market Ecosystem

The textile recycling market is moderately fragmented, with a medium-to-high level of market competition due to the presence of both established Tier 1 players (e.g., Lenzing AG, UNIFI, Hyosung Group) and a wide network of emerging Tier 2 and Tier 3 companies (e.g., iinouiio Ltd, Brandeur, FRIVEP). The buyer concentration remains moderate as demand is diversified across fashion, automotive, and industrial sectors, while supplier concentration is low due to the abundance of post-consumer textile sources and decentralized collection networks.
