"Textiles and the circular economy: Perspectives - Potentials - Strategies": the topic of this year's Austrian Re-Use Conference is very topical. Register now for the online event on May 19th. RepaNet members benefit from a reduced participation fee via a discount code (this must be requested in advance).
Textiles are used in ever shorter periods of time, which means that 11 kg of textiles are thrown away per person per year. Fast fashion has become a much discussed phenomenon. The textile sector is a resource-intensive sector with a significant impact on the climate and the environment and is - after food, housing and transport - the fourth largest pollution category in the EU in terms of the consumption of primary raw materials and water. Less than 1% of all textiles worldwide are recycled into new textiles. Low quality and cheap prices make it difficult to reuse used clothing. Above all, this puts pressure on social organizations for whom used clothing is an important product range in re-use shops. In the textile sector in particular, a change in the direction of circular economy is more important than ever.
At the Re-Use Conference on May 19, you can look forward to exciting contributions on the highly topical topic of textiles and the circular economy, such as a keynote by DI Dr. Willi Haas and much more will be artistically accompanied by the theater in the train station. You can find the detailed program on the ARGE Waste Prevention website.
