Launch of Textile Product Stewardshi Schee Webinar Aril 2022 – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Textile waste is one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing waste streams, their outsized carbon impacts relative to weight represents a gross waste of a high value, carbon-intensive resource that is both a priority but also an opportunity for decarbonisation.

Lead by Usedfully, the Textile Product Stewardship Project is a multi-year project which has been co-designed by NZ’s fashion and textile industry, creating a low emissions, circular economy for clothing and textiles onshore in Aotearoa.

Stage 1 of the Project over 200 industry stakeholders participated in workshops, working groups, and interviews co-designing a Voluntary Textile Product Stewardship Scheme and delivering to Government a set of Industry Recommendations.

Stage 2, launched in March, is proving a pilot scheme, testing waste to value pathways and providing recommendations to the government of an appropriate vehicle to administer an accredited Voluntary Product Stewardship Scheme for Textiles in Aotearoa.

Learn how your organisation can play its part, decarbonising operations through your textile resources.
