Participate in Materials Challenges

Cotton and polyester are two of the most used fibers in the fashion and textile industry, but both come with their own sustainability issues to overcome. That’s why we’re asking companies to set themselves targets to source more responsible solutions through our material challenges.

The Textile Exchange 2025 Recycled Polyester and Cotton Challenges will conclude at the end of 2025, with final reporting to occur in the 2026 reporting cycle. As such, we are no longer accepting new participants in these Challenges. However, we are currently working on updated challenges, which will be called ‘Commitments’ and will be developed in consultation with industry stakeholders in 2025. The first iteration of our new Commitments will launch in 2026. Please contact commitments@textileexchange.org if you are interested in providing input into the development of the new Commitments, and stay tuned for more updates via Textile Exchange communications channels.
