Consumers play a crucial role in the transition from a linear to a circular textile system. Understanding their motivations, barriers, and behaviors is key to designing effective interventions and building strong partnerships for sustainable solutions towards a more circular economy. This webinar will share key insights from recent studies and hands-on actions in second-hand use, repair, and textile donation.

Deeply rooted in communities, the fashion and textile sector holds significant cultural and economic value, providing livelihoods and reinforcing local identities, while also presenting environmental and social challenges across its entire lifecycle. This webinar will present key findings on textile waste collection, highlight practical case studies, and discuss the impact of citizen behaviour on waste prevention.
