Description

Five so-called “NextGen” fibre recycling companies, namely Circ, Circulose, RE&UP Recycling Technologies, Samsara Eco and Syre, are driving rapid progress in fibre-to-fibre recycling. The five companies—supported by major policy shifts in the EU, including landfill bans, extended producer responsibility, and potential mandatory recycled content targets—are scaling technologies and forging long-term brand and supply chain partnerships. In doing so, they are demonstrating that commercial viability and global expansion are within reach. The five companies are part of the T2T Alliance which has put forward a proposal for consideration by EU legislators that would make it mandatory for a proportion of recycled content to be included in all new textiles entering the EU market. In pursuit of these shared goals, the five members of the T2T Alliance have recently launched major initiatives and attracted significant backing during 2025. However, critical barriers remain in the form of high costs, limited access to feedstock, and uneven demand. Affordability remains the most significant constraint and, as a result, most brands continue to favour cheaper virgin polyester or recycled polyester derived from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) beverage bottles. Consequently, the production value chain has little incentive to incorporate recycled polyester fibres of its own accord.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
