Textile Engineer with a passion to turn the textile industry circular!
After 10 years in textile waste management, I see immense potential and opportunity for the textile industry to become circular, and I want to support the industry moving forward. I therefore founded Circulate Consulting to help organizations move circular textile projects from ambitions and pilots to scaled implementation.
With a background in textile technology and material- & product development, backed by a decade of managing innovative recycling projects and developing strategic recycling partnerships, as well as years of developing circular business models with brands and retailers, I bring together technical understanding, market perspective, and project execution expertise. My work focuses on the practical realities of circular textile systems, from collection and sorting to recycling, reuse, and recommerce business models, through projects, partnerships, and scalable implementation to connect the actors and close the gaps.
