The European textile and fashion sector is entering one of its most significant transformation periods in decades. Policy pressure, resource constraints, labour shortages and rising environmental expectations are converging to challenge long-standing business models, yet responses across the sector remain largely fragmented.
This report synthesises collective intelligence from the Future-Ready Textiles workshop series led by Climate-KIC in 2025, bringing together manufacturers, brands, researchers, NGOs and policymakers across Europe and beyond.
Three headline insights emerge: the challenges are systemic, not only technical; signals of change are accelerating; and transition-ready capabilities are the missing link.
In the battery ecosystem emerging from the growing diffusion of battery-powered electric vehicles, second-life applications for batteries can contribute to more sustainable management.
This report recommends that more clarity be provided regarding the liability framework governing responsibilities for batteries entering repurposing pathways. Further efforts will be needed to adequately standardise the second-life EVB framework and provide harmonised approaches in areas such as State of Health and State of Charge.
In addition, more must be done to boost demand for second-life applications and help create a market for them. Funding schemes and EU-funded projects can continue supporting innovation, particularly in the automation of repurposing processes to enable further cost reductions.
In its own-initiative opinion on “A comprehensive strategy for nature-based biodegradable materials to foster circularity and resource efficiency, strengthen the agri-food sector and scale-up the EU bioeconomy”, the EESC stresses that the EU should seize the opportunity to advance circular economy and bioeconomy goals while reinforcing the agri-food, forestry and fisheries sectors.
Europe’s flagship environmental label is doing better than ever, with the latest figures underscoring its growing role in steering the market towards more sustainable choices.
This webinar will explore how verified product data is shaping design decisions, market access and product selection in a more regulated and increasingly digital economy.
This survey aims to gather insights from EU companies and business associations. The goal is to identify priority needs, barriers and opportunities which can facilitate EU support for European private sector engagement in waste and water managements sectors in Latin America and the Caribbean.
