TEX-DAN – Moving forward with circularity in textile and fashion value chains
The project aims to improve circularity in the value chain of the textile and fashion industry through transnational cooperation in the Danube Region. The main focus is on four areas: 1) Bioeconomic clothing; 2) Circular design; 3) Circular production processes; 4) Recyling. An important part of the project is the transfer of knowledge to small and medium-sizes enterprises (SMEs), which is made possible by the development of awareness-raising measures, training concepts and best practise solutions.

Budget:
2,716,892 EUR
