European regions as enablers Can regional development work as an enabler in the transition to a circular system? Europe has many regions that have a long history within the textile industry and have textile capacity in one way or another. It is estimated that the annual collection of textiles will increase a further 65 000 to 90 000 tonnes annually in coming years as Member States in the European Union will begin to adjust or roll out supplementary collection systems to implement the provisions on separate collection of textiles in the Waste Framework Directive30.

This project is promoting the collaboration in research and development for the textile industry to establish a systematic circular economy business model across the EU. RegioGreenTex partnership involves 11 regions from 8 countries (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Romania, Sweden) to embrace a comprehensive European view on the textile sector.33 When it comes to capacity in infrastructure for the textile waste industry it is not only ab...
