Behind every breakthrough is a team that believed it was possible.
The Netherlands pilot brought together an extraordinary coalition: Circle Economy coordinating the ecosystem, Erdotex providing textile waste streams, BioFashionTech pioneering enzymatic hydrolysis, EV Biotech mastering precision fermentation, and TNO leading thermochemical gasification.
Each partner brought a different expertise. Together, they formed a network that behaved like a healthy ecosystem, each part playing its role, progress growing from the connections between them.
Hilde van Duijn, Managing Director of Circle Economy, put it simply: "This is not about perfecting a single solution. It's about designing systems that, like ecosystems, thrive on diversity, adaptability, and interconnection."
What made this collaboration work? Trust. Shared vision. And the recognition that no single technology would solve the textile waste crisis alone.
Fabiola Polli of BioFashionTech, Linda Dijkshoorn of EV Biotech, Carlos Mourao Vilela of TNO, each brought years of specialized knowledge to a shared table. The result wasn't just technical proof-of-concept. It was proof that transformation requires partnership.
When people align around a common purpose, the impossible starts to look inevitable.
