The ECESP Leadership Group on Textiles invites you to participate in the #EUCircularTalks event on Circular textile policies: implementation, challenges and the role of the Circular Economy Act. This webinar aims to assess the state of play of circular textile policies in the EU, examining progress made, existing gaps and next steps. 

The discussion will focus on the implementation phase, identifying remaining needs and policy loopholes. A panel of experts from various stakeholder groups will address these challenges. A representative of the European Commission will then present the forthcoming Circular Economy Act (CEA) and its potential impact on textile policy. RREUSE, as coordinator of the Leadership Group, will conclude the session.
