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. 2025 marks the launch of the EU obligation to establish separate collection systems for textiles, which, while trying to advance circularity, brought new challenges both for citizens and all the entities involved in the collection.
This webinar is at the crossroad of two webinar series, following a cooperation between the CISUTAC project and ACR+'s Circular Lifestyles thematic area. It presented key findings on textile waste collection, highlighted practical case studies, and discussed the impact of citizen behaviour on waste prevention.
This webinar is a must-attend for policymakers, waste management authorities, businesses, NGOs, and sustainability advocates looking to enhance their circular fashion/textile waste strategies.

About the CISUTAC Sustainability Forum
The CISUTAC Sustainability Forum is a webinar series designed to foster knowledge-sharing and dialogue around sustainable practices in the textile sector. Developed as an accessible, modular learning experience, the series explores key topics including the textile decision tree, sorting for reuse and repair, recycling pathways, circular design principles, consumer behavior, and effective consumer interventions. Each session brings together experts, innovators, and engaged stakeholders to unpack practical strategies for closing the loop in textiles and advancing circularity across the value chain. The series aims to support professionals, researchers, and changemakers in building a more sustainable and resilient textile system.
