The Circular Fashion Partnership (CFP) in Cambodia is dedicated to fostering collaboration and driving sustainable practices within the country’s fashion industry. Our primary objective is to promote circularity by actively reducing textile waste, implementing cutting-edge recycling technologies, and cultivating circular business models.

In collaboration with GIZ and the Responsible Business Hub, GFA hosted the inaugural Global Circular Fashion Forum (GCFF) event in May 2023. This event marked a significant milestone that perfectly aligns with our mission and objectives of introducing National Circular Fashion Partnerships to Cambodia and paved the way for expansion of the program to other apparel manufacturing countries.

The event served as a platform for participants to explore and deliberate opportunities within Cambodia’s dynamic fashion landscape. The dialogues and knowledge exchanges that took place during the GCFF event have proven invaluable, enriching our understanding of both the challenges and opportunities facing the Cambodian fashion industry. For comprehensive insights into this event, kindly follow this link.

Our dedication to fostering sustainability and collaboration in Cambodia extended beyond the GCFF. In June, we were honored to host a dedicated session at our Global Fashion Summit. This session further solidified our role as a catalyst for change and sustainability within Cambodia’s fashion sector.

Building upon the insights and connections established through these events, GFA and GIZ, are actively shaping a small-scale trial. This initiative engages select stakeholders, including esteemed fashion brands and manufacturers, with the shared objective of establishing a post-industrial textile waste collection and sorting centre in Cambodia.

This initiative represents a significant stride toward realizing our circularity objectives. We invite you to stay engaged for forthcoming information on this trial and the exciting prospects it offers for participation and expansion.

In the ever-evolving landscape of the Vietnamese apparel and footwear industry, the emergence of the Circular Fashion Partnership (CFP) represents a compelling and pressing necessity. This collaborative initiative is poised to address critical imperatives within the industry, with a primary focus on sustainability, recycling, and technological advancement. It’s worth noting that while this initiative is introduced in the context of Vietnam, its principles and objectives extend far beyond its borders and are relevant to CFPs worldwide.

Organized under the banner of the Global Circular Fashion Forum and in partnership with GIZ, we coordinated a webinar in November 2023 that extended an open invitation to all industry stakeholders interested in delving deeper into these transformative concepts.

During this webinar, GFA and GIZ outlined the opportunities, delved deeper into the Vietnamese apparel and textile industry landscape, and discussed the crucial initial steps for scoping the potential NCFP in Vietnam. This event represented the first step in building a community of like-minded individuals and organizations dedicated to revolutionizing the industry. Further details and valuable insights will be shared during the online event.

We look forward to your participation in this exciting initiative that has the potential to reshape the future of the fashion industry in Vietnam and beyond.
