We welcome participation from interested industry organisations

About the Future Textiles CRC

Australia is a major producer of high-quality natural fibres, yet much of this value is exported before downstream processing, while most finished textile products are imported. Domestic manufacturing capability has declined, supply chains are fragmented, and Australia lacks sufficient scale-up, sorting and recycling capability to capture emerging opportunities in advanced fibres, technical textiles, traceability and circular business models.

The Future Textiles CRC will provide a national platform connecting fibre producers, manufacturers, designers, brands, retailers, recyclers, researchers, governments and communities to build a more competitive, advanced, circular and resilient Australian textile system. It will support innovation across the full value chain, from fibre production and manufacturing through to use, repair, reuse, recovery and recycling, while building the infrastructure, workforce and collaborative capability needed to retain more value in Australia and create new commercial opportunities.

Aim of the Workshop

The aim of the industry workshop is to provide an overview of the Future Textiles CRC’s Research Programs - Creating Better Textiles, Keeping Textiles in Use, Recovering Textile Value - and seek industry’s inputs and feedback in shaping the research within the CRC. We welcome participation from industries whose interests align with one or more of the Research Programs and the role they can play to help position Australia as a high-value centre for circular textile innovation, demonstration and commercialisation.
