THE Philippines has yet to establish a specific policy on circularity in the textile industry, but the Board of Investments is pushing for sustainability initiatives through existing programs and incentives.
“In BOI, we’ve been supporting the implementation of the Solid Waste Management Act, that has transitioned to having more recycling activities in the country,” Dichosa said during a recent forum on sustainable fashion. Before the pandemic, the investments board partnered with the Philippine Textile Research Institute to promote sustainable fashion, highlighting local fibers and upcycling.
“It’s not enough that we campaign, but we should also support establishment of collection centers and encourage how consumers can contribute to the effort,” she said, noting that accessible facilities could help integrate circularity into everyday practices.
