Thementisch Zirkuläre TextilienBackground / Rationale
The textile and clothing industry traditionally plays an important role in NRW, but this has significantly declined in the meantime due to structural change caused by globalization. Circular economy and sustainable finishing, among other things, offer opportunities for the textile and clothing industry to reinvent itself and grow with innovative approaches.
Goals
The “Textile Topic Table” is intended to support the transformation of the textile industry as part of a climate-neutral circular economy. The aim is to present current developments at the political and legislative level, and to address critical points as well as obstacles and challenges to politics. In addition, existing funding and consulting opportunities can be made transparent, research needs can be identified, and pilot projects can be initiated. Networking should promote exchange between manufacturers, trade and recyclers among themselves, but also with research and politics. Furthermore, an important task of the topic table will be to formulate a smart strategy for the textile and clothing industry in NRW with the participating experts, in order to focus on medium- and long-term competitive development potentials against the background of the region's existing or developable competencies. This should not only promote innovation, but also strengthen the competitiveness of sustainable business models.
Participants / Intended Participants
Companies and associations from the textile and clothing industry, companies and associations from the waste and recycling industry, science, administration, politics.
