Abstract

This chapter examines both the textile manufacturing and textile recovery sectors in Denmark. It investigates the sustainability measures and circular strategies currently being actioned in the Danish textile manufacturing field and explores, across both sectors (manufacture and recovery), the role of digital technologies towards a circular economy. Using Danish Industrial Classification (DB07) codes and the Danish Central Business Register (CVR) database alongside expert knowledge, a list of 115 textile manufacturers and eleven recovery actors were found and included in the study. Websites from each company were studied and the data was analysed for circular strategies across materials, production, use, recovery and social activities. The findings demonstrate a focus on production and material related strategies and less emphasis on recovery within manufacture. Overall, there was a very limited uptake of digital technologies. The chapter concludes by exploring opportunities for new business models within repair, upgrade and recycling towards a Danish circular textile economy.
