During the sessions, Konukoğlu addressed the urgent need for the fashion industry to move from ambition to implementation, highlighting the importance of collaboration, scalable infrastructure and post-consumer textile recycling solutions.

“The problem is too big for anyone to solve alone. We need to work together across the industry. At RE&UP, we are not only talking about solutions – our facilities are operational, our technologies are running, and we are building the infrastructure needed for circular fashion at scale.”

At the Summit, RE&UP shared its approach to textile-to-textile recycling and the development of an integrated circular ecosystem spanning collection, sorting, recycling and resale, designed to help scale circularity across the textile value chain.
