Led by the European Investment Bank and co-funded by the European Commission as part of the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative, Circular City Centre - C3 offers EU cities and regions a practical opportunity to turn circular economy ambition into real strategies, impactful projects and quicker pathways to financing and implementation.

They are organising a webinar on how cities can support circularity in the textiles value chain.

Textiles are the fabric of everyday life, but consumption of textiles has a major impact on the environment. The EU generates around 7 million tonnes of textile waste annually, and only 12% of that is separately collected. It is therefore important to implement circular economy solutions in the management of textiles and cities can play a key role in this transition.

This webinar will:

• Highlight current challenges and opportunities regarding advancing circularity in the textiles sector
• Present good practices showcasing how cities and other relevant stakeholders can address these challenges and take circular action
• Summarise current and future textiles-focused EU policy and how that can influence the current situation
• Showcase how C3’s advisory programmes can support cities interested in taking a more active role in advancing circularity in the textile value chain

This event will take place at 10:00-11:30 CEST on 2 June. Registration.
