Consumers play a crucial role in the transition from a linear to a circular textile system. in this webinar, CISUTAC partners will share key insights from recent studies and hands-on actions in second-hand use, repair, and textile donation.

Deeply rooted in communities, the fashion and textile sector holds significant cultural and economic value, providing livelihoods and reinforcing local identities, while also presenting environmental and social challenges across its entire lifecycle. This webinar will present key findings on textile waste collection, highlight practical case studies, and discuss the impact of citizen behaviour on waste prevention.

This online event will be the eleventh public dissemination webinar of ECOSYSTEX. EU-funded projects focussing on textile sustainability present their work and share their findings/progress: WhiteCycle, CISUTAC,SOLSTICE and HEREWEAR.

On 31 May 2024, for the ninth edition of the ECOSYSTEX Insights Series dissemination webinar, we welcomed four ECOSYSTEX member projects and explored a wide range of textile sustainability & circularity research topics, funded by the EU. The CISUTAC project presented four 2035 future scenarios and their newly developed textile waste decision support tool. The CALIMERO project goes beyond the life cycle sustainability assessment methodology and explained how. The SCIRT project discussed challenges of a textile-to-textile recycling journey from a brand perspective. The Hemp4Circularity project talked about their first results of mechanically cultivated long fibre hemp in Europe.

In Barcelona, Spain, on 18-20 October, the ECOSYSTEX Conference will bridge the gap between EU-backed textile research and the thriving sustainable textile industry. We are bringing together a diverse community of researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers who are committed to driving innovation and sustainability in the textile sector.
