The European Commission (EU) has been trying to adopt the European textile strategy that encourages apparel and textile industry to become more competitive and sustainable.
As per Apparel Resources, since the last five years, Euratexhas been working on developing a strategy to help the industry move towards a sustainable, yet competitive, future.
The Brussels-based organization has been calling for alignment of EU textile strategy with EU Green Deal and many EU policies such as the new EU Trade strategy, the EU Pact for Skills, and the Sustainable Chemicals strategy, amongst others.
In addition to creating a good balance between sustainability and cost for the industry, Euratex has also been urging to work on areas like research, innovation and digitalization, standards, public procurement, market surveillance, global value chain and more.
The organization along with the Secretariat of the Sustainable, Long-term Investments & Competitive European Industry Intergroup will organize the event ‘The EU Textile Strategy: Source of Competitiveness?’
To be held on June 03, the event will address critical factors for building a competitive European textile industry and also what should be prioritized in the European textile strategy so as to build a new business model that’s based on sustainability, digitalization and fair trade.
