12/28/24, 8:31 PM Landmark Group unveils textile recycling facility in Dubai
This initiative, which includes brands like Centrepoint, Max Fashion, Home Centre, and

Home Box, not only encourages sustainable consumer behaviour but also ensures that
valuable textiles are sent to the Landmark Circulife facility, where they can be recycled into

new products.

“Protecting our environment is a shared responsibility,” said Renuka Jagtiani at the

inauguration. “This facility is a crucial step in advancing circularity in the fashion and textile

industry. It’s about creating a closed-loop system where used fabrics are given a second
life, benefiting both the planet and the people who depend on it.”

A ‘Landmark’ moment

The launch of Landmark Circulife aligns closely with the UAE’s broader Circular Economy
Policy, which aims to reduce waste, optimize resource use, and foster sustainability across

industries.

Minister Al Marri emphasised the importance of public-private partnerships in driving

sustainable growth. “By fostering strong collaborations like this one, we are not only

advancing sustainable initiatives but also strengthening the UAE’s position as a global
leader in the circular economy,” he remarked during the event.

With the goal of addressing around 5 per cent of the UAE’s textile waste (approximately
11,000 metric tonnes), the facility is poised for significant expansion.

Over time, it is expected to contribute to the reduction of 140,000 metric tonnes of CO2

emissions, save 107 GWh of energy, and conserve millions of litres of water, making it a

key player in the UAE’s efforts to meet its sustainability targets.
