The report addresses the data management requirements of actors in the textile sector when aligning their strategies and operations with the objectives of the 'Textile Strategy' and their implementation in the ESPR with regard to the DPP.

This deliverable presents the main learnings from the literature analysis which was
focused on the following aspects: environmental hotspots (in terms of life cycle stages as well as of environmental impact categories), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
methodological choices, impacts related to the release of microplastics and substances of concern, and eco-design insights in the textile sector.

This document evaluates and maps the current and future regulatory framework in the EU, Member States and in third countries affecting textile waste, digitalisation, and sustainability. The Regulatory Landscape Analyse (RLA) looks into how the regulations, initiatives and strategies enable or hinder the circularity strategies. It also contains a draft list of potential SoC under ESPR regulation.

The deliverable provides a structured analysis of the textile value chain and identifies key barriers and improvement pathways toward circularity. The objective is to establish a shared analytical framework for the TRUSTex project, enabling a systemic understanding of material flows, value retention opportunities and structural bottlenecks across the sector.

IMASUS conducted two international surveys and a follow-up analysis to better understand the current needs, gaps, and opportunities in sustainable and innovative textile materials.
The goal was simple: to listen to the people shaping the future of textiles with researchers, educators, designers, entrepreneurs, and creative hubs involved and using their input to guide the development of the IMASUS open knowledge platform.

The PROPLANET Replication Tool is an open‑source web application designed to help users explore PFAS‑free coating technologies for glass, metal, and textiles, offering an accessible way to compare formulation components, assess performance, and evaluate environmental and safety profiles.

On 15 January 2026, a thematic online seminar on Green Procurement – medical textiles and sterilization brought together professionals and experts to explore how sustainability and circularity can be effectively integrated into public procurement practices. Organised within the InterregEurope CEMTex framework, the webinar focused on practical approaches and real-world insights from the field of circular and medical textiles.

This draft report provides an analysis of textile EPR systems across eleven countries,offering a comparison of regulatory approaches, implementation challenges, and emerging best practices. If you have any comments or feedback regarding this report, please don't hesitate to reach out to the TRUSTex project coordinator Ghaya Rziga from Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology.

This first PESCO-UP policy brief aims to contribute timely evidence to the ongoing debate on traceability and transparency in the textiles sector. This comes at a critical moment when the Delegated Act for Textiles under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) is still under preparation.

VERDEinMED’s Knowledge Platform brings together cutting-edge medical insights, expert resources, and practical tools to empower healthcare professionals and researchers worldwide.

This consolidated deliverable brings together six literature reviews—three grey literature reviews and three systematic literature reviews. The evidence examines the socioeconomic impacts and third-country externalities associated with global textile circularity systems, with a focus on African textile reuse flows, post-consumer circularity in the EU, and sustainability transitions within global value chains.

This brochure summarizes pilot results, highlighting progress, impact, and scale-up opportunities, while guiding companies and regions toward collaboration and market adoption.

As part of the RegioGreenTex project, the Textile Circularity Guide outlines how textile waste can be turned into resources through circular business models, digital tools, and collaboration. It provides practical strategies, business development tools, digital solutions, and showcases successful European collaborations.

The EU TCLF Skills Strategy sets a shared direction for developing the skills that the sector needs to thrive in the green and digital transitions. It identifies key gaps, proposes coordinated actions for industry and education, and aims to ensure that companies can access the talent they require while workers benefit from new opportunities.

This deliverable is a practical guide to driving circular transformation across the textile value chain, providing tools and frameworks for companies, associations, and policymakers to scale sustainable practices effectively.

Video explaining the sorting solutions developed for textiles waste within REDOL.

This document focuses on the developments and activities carried out as part of Work Package 3 “Upgrading the management of solid urban waste streams” of REDOL project, in the period of M09 to M32. The main objective of this work was to achieve the improvement of different waste flows in REDOL value chains by designing and developing various technical and digital solutions. The targeted value chains are plastics, packaging, Construction & Demolition Waste (CDW), textiles and waste of electric and electronic equipment (WEEE). Based on that, five different technologies were developed for all the different value chains.

The main objective of this deliverable is to design and test, under controlled conditions, a set of innovative recycling and valorisation prototypes for different streams of Solid Urban Waste (SUW), aiming at its inclusion in circular and symbiotic value chains. These prototypes are tailored to the specific characteristics of each waste type.

In order to support professionals in their transition to a more sustainable and circular textile sector, training packages were developed by organizing and evaluating existing digital training resources. Several key categories for training have been identified, including value chains, sustainable design, production, consumer behavior, end-of-life options and recycling. These RGT Training packages contribute to a smoother transition towards more sustainable practices across the industry.
