At the heart of the Testex Circularity concept is a commitment to minimising waste and maximising the lifespan of textiles through responsible design, production, and consumption. The Testex Circularity label is suitable for brands looking to align their products with circular economy principles and for manufacturers aiming to produce garments that meet the highest sustainability standards.

Key benefits of the Testex Circularity label include:

  • Durability: Products are designed to last longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

  • Repairability: Garments are crafted to be easily repairable, allowing consumers to extend their lifespan.

  • Recyclability: At the end of a garment’s life, materials can be broken down and repurposed, minimising waste.

With the Testex Circularity label, Testex supports brands and manufacturers in “closing the loop”, reducing their environmental impact while continuing to grow responsibly. For consumers, choosing products with the Testex Circularity label means making a responsible choice that contributes to a sustainable future.

In a second phase, repairability and recyclability modules will be added to the program, after which Testex will be able to provide its full Circularity label.
