Circular Business Models and Resource Efficiency for Competitiveness and Growth in the Textile and Apparel Industry
Managed by the program facilitation unit of RECONOMY, this project is implemented with multiple interventions that seek to transform the Textile and Apparel Industry in the Eastern Partnership countries into a resilient and sustainable sector. The project prioritizes the facilitation of introducing circular business models and resource efficiency in the T&A Industry to improve competitiveness and ensure growth and access to international markets. Increased access to competencies, business services, and a better regulatory environment will improve the employability of the personnel in the T&A Industry, the attractiveness of the jobs for young people, and ensure better access to exporting opportunities. By collaborating closely with sectoral associations, NGOs, government bodies, training providers and private sector companies (including: sustainable fashion organizations, sustainable textile manufacturers, sustainable fashion brands etc.), the project seeks to ensure that the message of sustainability reaches all stakeholders, from industry players to consumers. This market-driven approach will lead to a more sustainable industry in the long term. This change is called to enhance resource efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and advance decent and green job opportunities for women and youth in terms of income and self-employment prospects.
