The foreseen objectives encompass product, process and social innovation. The objectives will be in line with the European strategic recommendations for textile manufacturers and NGOs, such as:
Focus
More specifically, during the RegioGreenTex Project, NERO Hub will focus on:
Systemic circular design (of products and processes) for the reduction of textile waste, starting from pre-fabrication and during fabrication
Support activities for the encouragement of textile waste collection (post-fabrication, pre-consumer & post-consumer) in view of recycling
Recycling, reuse and upcycling; design of secondary products
By their replication potential, the innovative practices developed within the hub via interregional collaboration will contribute to a European textile ecosystem better fit for circular economy, addressing weaknesses regarding sustainable production and sustainable lifestyles, and improving textile waste collection and recycling in the Member States.
