On September 30 2022, RREUSE organised a site visit to two major Belgian sorting facilities owned by the social enterprises “Les Petits Riens” and “De Kringwinkel”.
Launched today, the new Horizon Europe project CISUTAC will support the transition to a circular and sustainable textile sector. As part of a consortium of 27 partners working on the project, RREUSE will be leading the work on circular business models with a focus on reuse and repair.
“ We are facing the challenge of transforming the production-based linear economy into a circular value preservation economy. ”
Aiming at accelerating the green and digital transitions of the EU industry, the European Commission has prepared a Staff Working Document to outline possible scenarios for a transition pathway for a more resilient, sustainable, and digital textiles ecosystem. RREUSE reflected on the issues and possible output scenarios for 2030 that were presented in the Staff Working Document, and put together the response below.
RREUSE is pleased that Marche Region (Italy) will develop a re-use valoriser training course to improve the management of the regional Re-use Centres network. This initiative has been taken in the framework of the 2LIFES project, which aims at promoting re-use through public policies.
