Denmark aims to get more out of fewer textiles

On 2 October 2026, the Danish National Action Plan for Textiles will be launched – a joint Danish framework setting the direction for a more circular textile sector.

Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities Samira Nawa will launch the action plan together with the consortium behind it.

The Textile Industry Advances Circular Solutions

The Voluntary Sector Agreement for Textiles has published its latest report on progress in implementing circular solutions and initiatives.

The 2025 data shows stronger implementation among the companies that continue to report, particularly in the areas of circular design and the use of recycled textile fibres.

The positive trends in 2025 demonstrate continued progress across all three focus areas:

More companies are working with circular design (68%), the share of recycled textile fibres has increased from 9% to 12%, and repair is increasingly becoming an integrated part of business operations.
