The Baltic region (Baltic States) is one of the main destination for Nordic used textiles and plays an important role in the Nordic circular economy. By improving knowledge and capacity on collection, reuse and recycling of textiles in the Baltic region can help ensure that the Nordic region also contributes to rather than inhibits circular economy in the Baltics. This will also contribute to the achievement of the Nordic textile reuse and recycling commitments.
The purpose of this project is to enhance concrete knowledge related to preventing and reducing textile waste generation in the Baltic region, increase the capacity of stakeholders for increased collection, reuse and recycling of textiles and the development of effective policy measures for moving towards a circular economy for textiles.
The Nordic countries possess several best practices, technology innovations and other solutions in the areas of textile collection, sorting, reuse and recycling that would be highly valuable for the Baltic region to adapt. The project aims to transfer Nordic knowledge, create common understanding of the status of discarded textiles in the region, create a platform for Nordic-Baltic stakeholders to meet and help promote collaboration and partnerships with a view towards circular economy of textiles in the Nordic-Baltic region.
The project aims are achieved by:
The project started in November, 2018 and will end in April, 2020.
