A Clear Path from Prevention to Disposal
The Spent Textile Hierarchy ranks management strategies from most to least preferred. Each step guides the choices that shape a garment's next chapter — beyond just its final destination.
The Next Use Network plays a vital role in the circularity system: It offers a practical alternative to landfilling by helping businesses divert unwanted textiles into circular solutions.
Designed for brands, manufacturers, retailers, hospitality groups, and any organization looking for responsible options for their excess or used textiles.
The Next Use Network brings this hierarchy to life through a clear, guided interface that:
- Captures detailed, high-level textile data
- Clarifies user goals — reuse, recycling, or other pathways
- Matches users with certified vendors based on capacity and location
- Facilitates secure communication with service providers
- Tracks results and measures impact, including diverted weight and emissions saved
Every action in the NU Network connects to a hierarchy step, turning a once-complex system into a transparent, decision-ready workflow.
A tool that aligns action with intention
The Next Use Network creates value throughout the textile ecosystem by linking each player to data-driven, practical choices that advance circularity.
- Brands and designers gain visibility into material flows and meet ESG or EPR targets
- Collectors and sorters use smart logic to direct textiles to the best next destination
- Recyclers and innovators receive pre-qualified feedstock tailored to their needs
Value for Every Stakeholder
Circularity is more than a model — it's a shared responsibility. By aligning everyday decisions with hierarchy-based logic, the tool empowers organizations not only to act better but to prove their progress.
