The main objective of the program is to move towards a model where waste generated by the textile industry is transformed into new resources and raw materials. To achieve this goal, the project will foster collaboration between the public and private sectors, developing practical solutions to improve current systems for collecting, sorting, reusing, and recycling textile products.
The initiative will be structured through working groups composed of public administrations and private companies. These teams will identify problems, detect opportunities, and design pilot projects for more efficient and sustainable waste management, translating the real needs of the territory into concrete innovation proposals.
Arteixo's participation will allow for experimentation with solutions tailored to the characteristics of its business and industrial fabric, considered one of the most important in Europe within the textile sector. The municipality will seek to explore new opportunities for innovation, cooperation, and resource utilization.
The project will cover all phases of the textile product lifecycle, including improving collection and sorting systems, promoting the reuse and repair of garments and materials, and developing new alternatives for recycling. Collaboration among all involved stakeholders will be crucial.
