The fIfth webinar in the CISUTAC Sustainability Forum series explores two closely linked topics shaping the future of textile circularity: the Digital Product Passport (DPP) and the role of digitalisation in textile sorting.
Building on the CISUTAC Practical Guide and Checklist for Key Data for Reuse, Repair and Recycling, the session will share practical insights from CISUTAC partners involved in the sorting pilot. This pilot focuses on improving textile sorting for reuse and recycling through a semi-automated decision-support tool that supports better assessment and classification of used textiles.

About the CISUTAC Sustainability Forum
The CISUTAC Sustainability Forum is a webinar series designed to foster knowledge-sharing and dialogue around sustainable practices in the textile sector. Developed as an accessible, modular learning experience, the series explores key topics including the textile decision tree, sorting for reuse and repair, recycling pathways, circular design principles, consumer behavior, and effective consumer interventions. Each session brings together experts, innovators, and engaged stakeholders to unpack practical strategies for closing the loop in textiles and advancing circularity across the value chain. The series aims to support professionals, researchers, and changemakers in building a more sustainable and resilient textile system.
