Textile Science Research Centre (TSRC) of University of Zagreb Faculty of Textile Technology (TTF) is one of the Green-Tex project partners which has started on 1st January 2024. This project is supported by the Danube Region Programme project co-funded by the European Union. Green-Tex project is aiming to strengthen transnational collaboration and innovation in the Danube area’s sustainable textile sector and thus
make value chain actors in partner regions more resilient and competitive in adjusting to global shifts from traditional to more regenerative circular economy based green textile practices. Green-Tex will create and test new solutions throughout the entire value chain (starting from fashion design to production and usage as well as textile waste collection) and verify them in various contexts within the project territory.
Digital solutions will be an integral part of the Green-Tex project, because all partner regions need an effective textile waste collection system with publicly available online map of collection points, supported by awareness raising campaigns. Green-Tex solutions will be incorporated into the “Green-Tex learning and innovation platform”. The project is applying a multisectoral approach by integrating partners & stakeholders from the textile, waste collection and recycling, product design and other sectors. It is also integrating all actors within a quadruple innovation helix framework, relevant for the successful application of circularity in the textile sector.
