How to report textile destruction in your ESG disclosures
A step-by-step framework for sustainability teams to report textile diversion credibly.
To report textile destruction in ESG disclosures, tie every diversion figure to a Certificate of Destruction and chain-of-custody record, report tonnage diverted and recovered, and distinguish landfill diversion from closed-loop recovery so the numbers are sourced and auditable rather than estimated.
Sustainability teams increasingly need sourced numbers, not estimates. Textile diversion is reportable when the underlying destruction is documented.
Start by capturing every destruction event with its Certificate of Destruction. Aggregate the tonnage diverted, then separate simple landfill diversion from closed-loop recovery into new yarn, which is a stronger claim.
Finally, keep the certificates and chain-of-custody records on file so any figure can be traced back to an event, the standard auditors and disclosure frameworks expect.
