Emma BörjessonGUEST
Yeah, so since last year we host a network called Local Circular Textile Agenda with local stakeholders from the textile industry.
Emma BörjessonGUEST
It's second-hand store, remaker, influencers, education, waste companies and researchers.
Emma BörjessonGUEST
We started this network because of the new legislation with the textile needed to be sorted and handed in separately.
Emma BörjessonGUEST
And we knew that this new landscape will cause both challenges but also opportunities for the local stakeholders.
Emma BörjessonGUEST
We have two main goals, and it is to guide citizens and consumers to circular choices, but also to facilitate more local reuse of textiles.
Emma BörjessonGUEST
Because even today with the new legislation, a lot of textiles are being exported or will have very low value.
Lucy MearsHOST
And is there anyone who with the benefit of hindsight you wish had been included from the beginning?
