Circular Fashion Partnership Indonesia

The Circular Fashion Partnership is a collaborative initiative aimed at achieving a sustainable, fair, and scalable transition to a circular fashion system.

Launching in Jakarta in October 2024, the programme seeks to establish a circular textile system in Indonesia.

What is CFP Indonesia?

The Circular Fashion Partnership (CFP) Indonesia, launching in Jakarta in October 2024, aims to create a sustainable and circular textile system in the country. This initiative focuses on several key areas: implementing textile waste management systems at manufacturing facilities, establishing efficient textile-to-textile recycling supply chains, aligning waste management with social and environmental standards, mobilising industry stakeholders through knowledge exchange and educational programs, and influencing national policies to support circularity. Through these efforts, the partnership seeks to transform Indonesia’s textile industry into a model of circular fashion.

Partners

This partnership is in collaboration with Rantai Tekstil Lestari (RTL) Indonesia,  supported by implementation partners Reverse Resources, Closed Loop Fashion, and Circle Economy Foundation, and funded by H&M Foundation and private sector contributions.

Why Indonesia?

Indonesia is one of the fastest-developing countries and consumer markets. It is among the world’s top 10 countries producing textiles and is the largest exporter of textiles to North America.

Indonesia offers a significant opportunity to develop a local textile recycling industry. This is due to the large volumes of feedstock materials available for recycling – Reverse Resources estimates that 874 Ktons of recyclable textile waste are generated every year in Indonesia – and a highly developed vertical supply chain, making it an attractive location for investments in textile-to-textile recycling. Furthermore, Indonesia’s policy environment provides a conducive framework for promoting circular apparel manufacturing.
