The Growing Textile Waste Crisis
Textile waste is swiftly becoming one of the most harmful waste streams worldwide. Global garment production creates 92 million tons of waste annually—projected to reach 148 million tons by 2030.
This waste generates more emissions than the greenhouse gas emissions of the aviation and shipping industries combined.
Less than 1% of discarded textiles are recycled, leaving the vast majority burned or buried.
Key Challenges
Mixed materials
A single garment can contain cotton, polyester, dyes, and metals, making separation and recycling costly and labor-intensive.
The strain on our planet
Incineration and landfills increase greenhouse gas emissions, pollute soil and water, and use up dwindling space.
Costly garbage
Fast fashion and shifting consumer habits continue to grow this waste stream, increasing disposal expenses for countries.
LOOM for Governments and Industry
Meeting climate goals
Achieving net-zero is impossible when textile waste keeps escalating emissions.
Budget and infrastructure strains
Landfills are overflowing, and incineration costs are rising, placing a financial and logistical burden on governments.
Reputational & ESG Risks
For industries and investors, ignoring textile waste can undermine sustainability commitments and public trust.
Opportunity for Leadership
Adopting LOOM's proprietary approach to textile waste management positions regions and companies as pioneers in environmental leadership.
Why LOOM?
With LOOM, solving the textile waste crisis isn’t just an environmental mandate—it’s commercially viable. We reduce landfill stress and cut emissions for governments, and lower carbon footprints for industries. LOOM is a scalable, AI-driven system that creates textile waste circularity.
