Abstract:
The European Union (EU) member states are obligated to implement the separate collection of textile waste by the year 20XX. Nowadays, non-profit organizations (NPOs) are the largest collectors of post-use textiles. In support of upcoming changes, this study develops an understanding of barriers and drivers for establishing partnerships between NPOs and companies in reverse textile supply chains. This study adopts the embedded single-case design. The drivers and barriers are categorized into seven categories: environmental, economic, social, institutional, technological and informational, supply chain and organizational categories. The study identifies the alignment of interests and goals, increased transparency and clarity of terminology and other main factors in establishing the partnership. Expanding the geographical boundaries of current research will capture the experiences of NPOs and companies in other contextual settings. This study contributes to the existing knowledge with a broad picture of different barriers and drivers. The findings intend to support the integration of NPOs in reverse textile supply chains. The study looks at an emerging form of partnership between NPOs and companies in reverse supply chains for enabling valorization of post-use textiles.
