Study visit to Sweden

At the beginning of September, the lead parter is organizing a study visit to Sweden. 

The Study Visit aims to provide partners with a thorough understanding of successful textile waste management practices in Sweden. It includes visits to relevant institutions and exploration of innovative approaches and best practices in waste collection, recycling, and circular economy models. Policy briefings from Managing Authorities shed light on the regulatory environment, funding mechanisms, and support programs.

During this visit, the lead partner (City of Borås) is organizing the 1st Steering Group meeting of the project.
