CISUTAC Sustainability Forum #1: Engaging citizens in sustainable consumption of textiles and textiles waste separation
Online webinar May 13th 11 – 12:30 CET
The CISUTAC Sustainability Forum’s new webinar series is designed to inspire dialogue and share practical knowledge for a more sustainable textile sector. Sessions will bring together experts, innovators, and changemakers to explore actionable strategies for closing the loop and promoting circularity across the textile value chain. Professor Ingun Grimstad Klepp will participate in the first edition, taking place on 13 May and hosted by ACR+ (Association of Cities and Regions for Sustainable Resource Management). This session will focus on key findings related to textile waste collection. Also explored will be real-world case studies from across Europe and examining how citizen behaviour can directly impact waste prevention.
