TRANSITIONS
ProjectFashion and textiles is the second most polluting industry in the world. As a result of European directives, the textile sector must be fully circular by 2050. It is therefore currently facing major challenges that require profound, radical systemic change.
Transitions
Transitions is a strategic alliance of universities, colleges, platforms and institutes that together support the textile and fashion industry in the transition to a more sustainable, circular system. The project does this by developing new learning methods and tools to support students, young designers and professionals in the real, everyday challenges that the green transition throws at them.
Approach
A circular economy aims to preserve the value of products, materials and resources for as long as possible by bringing them back into the product cycle at the end of their use, minimising waste production.
In the Transitions project, partners are collaborating on new training methods to cope with digital and green transformation. The aim is to create collaborative and practical training where different actors in the value chain work on how to use new technologies to prepare their business models for the future.
Expected results:
Establish a modular training programme based on Industry 4.0 for a new circular system for the fashion and textile industry.
Set up innovation-oriented training modules based on real practices and challenges (Transition Labs) to retrain and upskill students and professionals
Develop new ways to innovate textile and design processes, production and commercialisation
