Textile Burnt as a Witch

Last year, the Policy programme for circular textile in the Netherlands ‘Beleidsprogramma Circular Textiel 2020-2025’, was launched by policy makers agreeing that whatever textile was considered waste, it would be burnt.

Italy being at the top of western Europe’s biggest producers of textile waste.

This report is about the textile market in the Netherlands. However, since the textile chain is so internationally oriented, it is not enough to monitor affairs only within our national borders. For example, the supply chain of textile products is mainly outside the Netherlands and there are also sales at the back of the chain in other EU countries and beyond. This therefore concerns textile products that are used by local end users (companies or consumers).

The set of classification criteria of textiles in the Netherlands:

• Consumer clothing: (such as clothing, underwear, stockings and socks).
• Company clothing: (such as clothing, stockings and socks for company purposes).
• BBK linen: bed, bath and kitchen linen and curtains/curtains for private and commercial purposes (such as sheets, blankets, pillowcases, duvet covers, towels, tea towels, tablecloths, napkins, washcloths, etc.).

Further information of this report can be found below in Dutch.
