About the Project
The Danube Region is characterised by large differences in the use of circular solutions in the textile and fashion value chains. For example, with regard to handling of textile Germany, Austria and Czech Republic are frontrunners, whereas other countries have a lot to do to catch them up. In many aspects – including circularity – textile and fashion sectors lag behind other sectors.
Furthermore, there is a low awareness of circular solutions throughout the Danube region. Therefore, the TEX-DAN partnership agrees that there is a need for improvement in knowledge, approaches, awareness of innovative technologies, support measures, and policy changes leading to successful integration of circularity in the textile industry. Awareness-raising activities, stakeholder engagement, and education are required.
Project Objective
To adopt technologies in small and medium-sized enterprises to enhance circularity in the textile and fashion industry.
The TEX-DAN project aims to improve local, regional, and national policies promoting circularity. The project aims to stimulate transnational cooperation and knowledge exchange and establish various sustainable forms of transnational cooperation. TEX-DAN demonstrates comprehensive partnership with 14 project partners and 7 strategically affiliated partners. The geographical coverage is broad, including 11 countries from the Danube region and one international association. The partnership (strategically affiliated partners) consists of one regional innovation agency, 6 regional/national development agencies/public bodies, one foundation, 3 higher education institutes, 5 business support organizations, 4 interest groups/NGOs, and one international association. All partners significantly contribute to TEX-DAN’s objectives.
