Reduction of the use of virgin fibers by the promotion of advanced textile recycling processes and the use of recycled fibers. We close the loop

Reduction of the negative environmental and social impact of textiles. We reduce the negative impacts

Regional Hubs

The team of DCTV consists of a close network of regional eco systems. We now cover Metropolitan Region of Amsterdam, Region Twente, Region Gelderland, Midpoint Brabant and the Metropolitan region of Rotterdam, covering a wide spectrum of specialties and expertises. We are currently in conversation with other regions to extend the ecosystem.

We work in close cooperation with a wide variety of stakeholders e.g.

Be invited to join coalitions on a wide variety of topics that further the transition

Be invited to community meet ups to stay informed of the most current knowledge: learn, share and connect on topics like fabrics, materials and production innovation technologies, updates on legislation, digitalization and product passporting, market information and interesting coalition formation .

Contribute to create market size. The transition needs frontrunners to make a point with a shared voice, to stimulate demand, to break through technical hurdles and to support other innovators

Access to funding. We work hard to strengthen the finance ecosystem and secure funds for both individual companies as well as consortia.
