Design4Circle – Project

The project Design4Circle – Innovative design practices for achieving a new textile circular sector – is developed to create an innovative learning curriculum in line with the needs of designers of the textile and fashion industry. The idea is to motivate the designers from the textile sector to create products that will reduce their environmental impact during the product’s life-cycle, and to develop new and innovative businesses within the principles of circular economy. In order to achieve such purpose, a Strategic Partnership has put 6 entities together from 6 different countries and expertise in the different fields of the proposed project: two Universities experts in textile design and technologies: RTU, Latvia and TUIASI, Romania; one company expert in circular economy and new business models: ECORES, Belgium; and three business associations and VET providers that cover different sectors of the textile industry and experts in ecodesign: TTA-TC, Macedonia, AMUEBLA, Spain and CTCP, Portugal.
