This webinar will explore the evolving standards landscape linked to circularity, ecodesign and Digital Product Passports in the fashion, clothing and textiles sector. 

It will:

  • include an update on CEN/TC 248/WG 39 Circular Economy for Textile Products and the Textile Chain, including standards development related to circular design, durability, textile circularity, recycled and non-virgin materials, and textile waste management.
  • review key international (ISO) and European (CEN/CENELEC) standards developments related to the circular economy (ISO TC 323 and CEN TC 473), DPP (CEN-CLC JCT 24) and ecodesign that are relevant to the fashion and clothing sector. 
  • explore how these standards may support the future implementation of the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation.
  • launch of the Circularity Playbook for SMEs published by BSI. The Playbook is a practical guide for fashion and clothing businesses to plan, implement and scale circularity using international standards.

This webinar is organised by The Centre for Sustainable Design® at UCA in collaboration with BSI as part of the EU-funded Just Fashion project. Just Fashion aims to accelerate climate transition in the fashion industry, by providing businesses in the partner countries with a reference framework and tools to shift their production methods, internal procedures and final products towards more sustainable models that are low carbon, circular and socially inclusive.

The webinar will take place via Teams at 15:00 – 16:00 CEST on 15 June.
