At the end of December, we had the honor of attending the 2024 edition of the European Circular Fashion Trophies, this time as 2022 laureates. 🏆♻️✂️
For us, this event was a direct time-travel back to 2022 in Lille, when we proudly stood as finalists, ready to pitch our project with impact. A bit nervous before stepping onto the stage, we spent time engaging with an inspiring and complementary ecosystem, meeting incredible projects like Blue&Pastel-Le Rêve Bleu, Juin fait le lin, MooM, Perpète, and Chandam.
Beyond the competition, this was the kind of event where we found ourselves aligned both with decision-makers—convinced we can help achieve the 2050 sustainability goals—and fellow greentech innovators.
🌱 Building Meaningful Collaborations
One of the most exciting outcomes? Collaborating with forward-thinking individuals committed to textile waste collection within their companies.
A standout memory: Tristan Michel de la Morvonnais, CSR leader at SNCF Voyageurs Nord.
Inspired by our approach, he invited us to present ÉCOLLANT in his company’s monthly webinars, encouraging employees to collect and recycle their end-of-life polyamide textiles.
👉 The result?
A true success: SNCF employees embraced our vision, setting up internal collection points within their offices. 🚉 But the story didn’t stop there—ÉCOLLANT was invited to “Voyage en Nord,” a unique initiative where we boarded the Paris-Lille train to engage passengers in sustainability discussions… even taking the mic at the onboard cafĂ©! 🎤
💼 What’s next?
Beyond textile collection and the incredible exchanges we’ve had along the way, the future lies in collaborations between fashion brands and recyclers.
Our mission remains clear: help brands create truly sustainable collections using breakthrough textile recycling technologies.
A massive thank you to everyone who has crossed our path and contributed to growing this project. Every meeting matters, every opportunity opens new doors—and this is just the beginning! 🚀
🙏 Special thanks to Anthony Jaugeard and the entire team behind the European Circular Fashion Trophies—we’ll always be thrilled to attend this high-value European competition!
