IFC's Morocco Textile Circularity Project implemented
by the MAS Upstream Advisory department aims to support the adoption of circular models of
production in the Moroccan textile and apparel sector, with a focus on
post-industrial waste (cutting room chutes). By establishing a reliable
feedstock system, the project seeks to unlock IFC investment opportunities in
spinning, weaving, dyeing, recycling, and manufacturing.
In its initial phase, the project established the Textile
Circularity Exchange, piloted cotton and polyester chute recycling, developed a
segregation and sorting manual, and launched a mapping of the textile waste
ecosystem in Tangier.
The project now requires dedicated support to:
- Consolidate
data and evidence from pilots and mapping into actionable policy and investment
insights.
- Design a communication plan to showcase results to domestic and international stakeholders, as well as internally.
- Scale training and capacity building to embed circular practices in factories across the value chain
