Design Guidelines

The design guidelines for chemical recycling are being created with the aim of informing and guiding apparel designers and product developers on the design of recyclable products, in a comprehensive, realistic and impactful way, considering what is techno-economically feasible today. It guides the design of garments primarily made from polyester, polyamide 6 and cotton, working with the product’s use-case as the starting point. Information on the wider context of sustainable fashion design strategies is also provided.

The guidelines will be published at the end of the project, in May 2025.
