Circular Textiles Fund

Applications are reopening soon. Register your interest for updates below.

Funding is for businesses across Scotland, from fashion to upholstery and industry that are looking to invest in circular solutions for textiles.

Manufacturing textiles consumes finite resources and releases greenhouse gas emissions, while Zero Waste Scotland’s latest Carbon Metric Report shows textiles make up four per cent of waste by weight but account for nearly a third (32 per cent) of the carbon impact of Scotland’s household waste.

The Circular Textiles Fund can help businesses in Scotland to implement innovative circular projects to drive Scotland's circular economy, in which resources are valued and kept in circulation for as long as possible.

Considering the impact of textiles on Scotland’s carbon footprint, it’s clear we need to support the industry in a shift to a circular solution.

Who can apply for the Circular Textiles Fund?

Applications will reopen to businesses looking to implement a circular textile business model or project in Scotland, individual applications and collaborative projects are both welcomed. Applications will be assessed against their ability to:

• Accelerate a circular transition in Scotland
• Deliver economic and inclusive growth
• Reduce waste

• Innovate
