The C40 is a network of cities around the world committed to addressing climate change. We were approached by the Tel Aviv Municipality, who is a member of that network to map the industrial textile sector in the urban context.
Our research question and motivation was centered around evaluating how much pre-consumer textile waste is there in Tel Aviv? As well as identifying key challenges and opportunities for developing and integrating circular economical initiatives within the urban context.
We conducted a material flow analysis and market research which included a literature review, scanning online resources and articles, 40 on-site interviews. Data extracted from these interviews included both qualitative and quantitive data sets spanning from mapping materials quantities and properties, specifications regarding sub-sectors within the textile industry, manufacturing processes, supply chains and distribution patterns.
