Digital forum "A global policy agenda to keep textiles in use"

"A global policy agenda to keep textiles in use – understanding the role of new policy instruments for a circular textile system"
We will present successful initiatives aimed at extending the life of textiles and slowing down consumption, while taking a look at both legal measures and voluntary corporate initiatives.

Beim diesjährigen Wissenschaftsforums des Öko-Instituts diskutieren wir in drei sektorenspezifischen Onlineforen sowie einer halbtägigen Fach- und Networking-Veranstaltung in Berlin gemeinsam mit Expert*innen aus Politik, Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Zivilgesellschaft, wie die Zukunft einer zirkulären Wirtschaft aussehen kann. Wir laden Sie herzlich ein, an allen oder ausgewählten Veranstaltungsteilen teilzunehmen.

Fast fashion is in direct conflict with the principles of the circular economy. In this forum, we will discuss current approaches and challenges with international experts on how current regulatory initiatives at global and EU-level are influencing global material flows, supply chains and production practices. We will critically reflect on the effectiveness of extended producer responsibility (EPR), in which companies take responsibility for the entire life cycle of their products, including take-back.
