Anna Garton's forte lies in implementing circular textile strategies. Her commitment to circular textiles has been a driving force in fostering pioneering and innovative solutions for household collected post-consumer end-of-life textile materials. Through meticulous research and development, she has contributed to creating commercial products and business models that prioritise circular practices.
Until recently, she was a post-consumer textiles expert at the LSJH (Lounais-Suomen Jätehuolto), a municipal waste management company in Finland that coordinates the nationwide separate collection of end-of-life textiles from households. LSJH works closely with many European MMCF fibre producers and recycled fibre innovators to create new supply chains to scale up the use of existing textiles in their processes as feedstock.
