iX Challenge - Circular solutions for textile waste reduction in Southwest Wales

Choose2Reuse wants innovative solutions to turn textile waste into new products in Southwest Wales. They work with 100 charity shops and need help to keep textile waste in Wales instead of throwing it away. The funding amount is not specified. You need to find ways to transform non-reusable textiles into new products, feedstocks, or industrial materials. This creates a circular solution for textile waste. The deadline is 7 April 2026. This challenge helps both Choose2Reuse and their network of charity shops across Southwest Wales.

This is for innovators and businesses who can develop solutions to transform textile waste into new products. You should have expertise in circular economy, materials processing, or textile recycling. It is specifically for solutions that will work in Southwest Wales with Choose2Reuse's charity shop network.

Choose2Reuse are looking for innovative solutions to re-valorise their non reusable textile waste streams, ensuring that these materials remain in Wales and are transformed into new products, feedstocks or industrial inputs. Solving this challenge will help to provide a circular solution not only for their waste but also their customer base of 100 Charity shops in the Southwest Wales region.
