We would like to take a moment to recognise the key role of our innovator Reverse Resources in the pre consumer pilot. Apart from their knowledge and expertise in all things textile waste, their hands-on approach and astute interventions were instrumental in the success of the pilot. We would also like to acknowledge the significant contributions made by all our pilot stakeholders – brands, manufacturers, recyclers and waste handlers in making this pilot a success and support in substantiating our learnings with their insights. Our hope is that this pre-consumer pilot and the report act as a blueprint for implementing efficient and digitally traceable textile waste supply chains and amplifying textile waste recycling in Asia.

The authors would also like to thank the following industry experts, who gave their time and contributed their expertise to this pilot: Lakshmi Poti and Karan Kumar (Laudes Foundation), Vincent Delalandre and Tejas Sampat (PVH Corp.), Drishti Masand and Avanish Dwivedi (adidas), Liz Lipton-McCombie, Anuja Ojha, Venkatraman Raman (Levi Strauss & Co.), Carmen Chan and Sirajudeen Ali (TESCO), Nicole Morarescu and Adarsh Immanuel (Primark), Abhishek Bansal and Snehit Kumar Rahul (Arvind Limited), Surya Valluri and Vivek Khare (Birla Cellulose), Rajender Sharma, Animesh Laha (Welspun India) and Anjali Krishnan (IDH). We also wish to thank Earl Singh, Lana Miller, Camilla Rama and Emily Cooper for their work on the design and editing assistance.
