12/28/24, 8:31 PM Landmark Group unveils textile recycling facility in Dubai
The state-of-the-art facility was inaugurated by Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, UAE Minister of
Economy, and Renuka Jagtiani , chairwoman of Landmark Group, in a ceremony attended
by key figures from the UAE Circular Economy Council and the retail industry.
The new facility, named Landmark Circulife, will process used fabrics and textiles,
transforming them into valuable recycled fibres that can be repurposed into new products.
From fashion to home furnishings, these fibres will be used to create a wide range of
items, reducing the need for virgin materials and helping close the loop on textile waste in
the region.
With an initial capacity of 2,000 metric tonnes of textile waste per year, Landmark Circulife
is set to make a significant environmental impact, preventing thousands of tonnes of waste
from ending up in landfills.
This facility is a key part of Landmark Group’s broader sustainability efforts. The company
is aiming to become climate-positive across its entire value chain by 2050, and this facility
plays a pivotal role in that long-term vision.
Engaging consumers in the circular economy
One of the most innovative aspects of Landmark Group’s new initiative is its focus on
consumer participation. Last year, Landmark Retail launched takeback programmes in
stores across the UAE, inviting customers to bring in their old clothes and textiles —
regardless of brand — in exchange for rewards.
