The textiles production and consumption system is a priority product-value chain for the European Commission in its 2020 Circular Economy Action Plan. The Action Plan foresees a European Union strategy for sustainable textiles in a circular economy with the aim of creating markets for sustainable and circular textile products, services, and business models. The European Environment Agency (EEA) and its Topic Center on Waste and Materials in a Green Economy (ETC/WMGE) have shown that consumption of clothing, footwear, and household textiles in Europe is on average the fourth highest category of environmental and climate impacts from a consumption perspective and from a vantage point that considers the entire life cycle.

Community-building is essential to the direction of exchanging and sharing sustainable fashion practices and knowledge. Both Ecofashion EU and Worth Partnership Projects aim to build a community whose members share vision and values around design, sustainability and innovation. To this direction, the Athens Chamber of Small and Medium Size Industries (ASCI- Greece) wishes to invite you to our third online community-building event, a cross-sector networking event that brings together Worth Partnership Projects, Ecofashion members, and other Greek-based sustainable brands to discuss their efforts to make textile, garment and fashion production more sustainable along with challenges they are facing and solutions they are seeking. Below are the program agenda and the list of participants.

Hope to see you there!
