What is textile logistics?
Textile logistics is the management of the flow of goods and information in the entire value chain of the textile and clothing industry, from the extraction of raw materials and packaging to delivery and recycling.
Fast seasonal changes, high import quotas, numerous returns in online retailing, and the selection of adequate collection and recycling paths show that logistics has become a key success factor in the textile and clothing industry. Furthermore, high-performance textiles have great innovation potential for future logistics and mobility. The CTL provides scientific support for textile enterprises.
