Saudi Fashion Commission Launches ‘Future of Sustainability Initiative’ to Promote Fashion Recycling
Riyadh, March 3, 2025 – The Fashion Commission has announced the launch of the Future of Sustainability Initiative, a pioneering project aimed at integrating fashion recycling into Saudi Arabia’s retail landscape.

The initiative aligns with the Fashion Commission’s sustainability pillar, reinforcing the importance of circularity in the fashion industry while raising consumer awareness about responsible textile disposal. By developing a comprehensive textile recycling system, the program aims to reduce waste, promote reusable materials, and contribute to the Kingdom’s wider sustainability goals under Vision 2030.

Increase public participation in clothing recycling through strategically placed collection bins.
Encourage retailers and brands to support eco-conscious fashion by integrating recycling programs into their business models.
Educate consumers on the importance of sustainable fashion choices and the impact of textile waste on the environment.
Support the circular economy by promoting the reuse, repurposing, and responsible disposal of garments.
The initiative represents a significant step in positioning Saudi Arabia as a leader in sustainable fashion, with a focus on minimizing waste and fostering responsible consumption. By integrating sustainability into everyday fashion choices, the Fashion Commission is paving the way for a greener, more responsible industry.
