The conference aims to help accelerate the transition to a circular economy in the textiles and apparel industry by addressing the most pressing key challenges such as product longevity, recycling strategies, the use of recycled materials and loop closure opportunities through industrial symbiosis.

It will also focus on how consumer expectations shape fashionable durability, examine how brands, retailers and large and small companies in the textile world can implement circularity in their supply chains, transform factories and try to create a fiber and material industry more sustainable and responsible.

This event is part of a long series of 8 sector consultations in the eight regions of Romania, and the results of the conferences and workshops, based on regional consultations and concluding with the European conference, will be the way to shape a strategy to achieve our mission, that by 2030 Romania, will be a circular economy leader in Central and South-Eastern Europe.
