Marijana Petir tried to draw concrete conclusions from everything spoken, with the necessary actions and activities aimed at a comprehensive approach to solving some of the aforementioned problems in collecting, sorting, washing and using wool for many valuable products, especially for environmentally friendly products, so-called agrotextiles. Although we often heard about the environmental problem that arises from not using wool produced by shearing sheep, the audience expressed the opinion that we should stop talking in that way, since wool is a biodegradable fiber and that the only harm is not using wool, especially when it is known that wool can be used in various ways (with the application of more or less technique and technology) and for various products from luxury works of art and clothing to fertilizers for growing vegetables. In addition, the Ozana association emphasized the positive psychological effect that working with wool has on people who work with wool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the discussion, Majur municipal mayor Karanovi\u0107 invited everyone involved in this topic to contribute in order to jointly approach new projects and make positive progress in the use of domestic wool. She also invited everyone to see the newly installed small wool washing line and a machine for carding and making slivers, roving and yarns of wool built as part of the INTERREG DRP0200404 Green-Tex project, in which the Municipality of Majur and the Faculty of Textile Technology Zagreb are partners, and in which a total of 11 partners from 9 EU member states are involved.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5092\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5092\" class=\"wp-image-5092 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mini-linija-za-pranje-vune.jpg\" alt=\"Demonstration of the newly installed wool washing line\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mini-linija-za-pranje-vune.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mini-linija-za-pranje-vune-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mini-linija-za-pranje-vune-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mini-linija-za-pranje-vune-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mini-linija-za-pranje-vune-75x100.jpg 75w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mini-linija-za-pranje-vune-338x450.jpg 338w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mini-linija-za-pranje-vune-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Demonstration of the newly installed wool washing line<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the Festival, visitors could participate in interesting exhibitions and workshops, and especially interesting were sheep shearing, plant sowing with the addition of wool pellets, knightly games and wool felting workshops. The children&#8217;s fashion show attracted exceptional attention and enthusiasm with the imaginative clothing items and fashion accessories displayed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the later afternoon, a second Round table entitled <em>Ecology in Pounje and cross-border business cooperation<\/em>, was held. The need for networking and connection at all levels was highlighted, especially through the implementation of ecological projects on both sides of the Una. The moderator of this round table was Milan Medi\u0107, Leader of the Croatian network (National Alliance of all local action groups), who was also the co-organizer of the III. Wool Festival.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5096\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5096\" class=\"wp-image-5096 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Okrugli-stol-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Round Table Ecology in Pounje and cross-border business cooperation\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Okrugli-stol-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Okrugli-stol-2-300x124.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Okrugli-stol-2-1024x423.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Okrugli-stol-2-768x317.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Okrugli-stol-2-1536x634.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Okrugli-stol-2-2048x845.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Okrugli-stol-2-100x41.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Okrugli-stol-2-700x289.jpg 700w, https:\/\/tsrc.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Okrugli-stol-2-1600x660.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5096\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Round Table Ecology in Pounje and cross-border business cooperation<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The entertainment program continued until late in the evening.
