ACR+ member Zero Waste Scotland is administering the funding, backed by the Scottish Government, to help reduce the environmental impact of textiles. The fund aims to support the development of circular supply chains in Scotland. The funding will go directly to businesses across Scotland, from fashion and upholstery to industry and technology. Applications will be assessed against their ability to: accelerate a circular transition in Scotland; deliver economic and inclusive growth; reduce waste; reduce carbon impact; and innovate.
 
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%) of the carbon impact of Scotland’s household waste.
