Circular Economy
Sustainability and circular economy
The growing consumer appetence for more environmentally responsible products and with better sustainability credentials is increasingly consensual, which is compounded by progressively more restrictive legislation regarding the environmental impact of industrial activity.
Facts that have led companies in the Textile and Clothing Sector to gradually engage in a research strategy that leads to the adoption of sustainable policies and reduction of environmental impact, based on the valorization of waste and by-products of geographically close industries.
It is in this context that PPS5 - Sustainability and Circular Economy, whose main objective is the development of sustainable textile structures, with eco-design and multifunctionality, based on the valuation of waste from other industries, is inserted in the new paradigm of the Circular Economy.
