  • The report assesses the potential for a circular textile system in Estonia, identifying that approximately 3,300 tonnes of textile waste annually are suitable for low-cost mechanical recycling. It details a pilot process of collecting, sorting, and shredding post-consumer textiles to create new yarns and non-woven composite materials, resulting in prototypes such as furniture and knitwear. The authors conclude that Estonia lacks the necessary industrial pre-processing infrastructure and recommend state-level investments in sorting and shredding facilities, estimated at approximately 2.4 million euros, to enable large-scale recycling.
