THREADs: Using Textile Waste as a Design Resource

We are pleased to invite you to an upcoming webinar organised as part of the Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme (NPA) THREADs project, exploring how textile waste can be used as a valuable resource for design, reuse and circular textile systems in the Northern Periphery and Arctic region.

The webinar will introduce a Resource Categorisation Value Chart, developed within the THREADs project. The tool helps identify how textiles can be directed towards reuse, redesign, repair or other circular pathways, enabling better collaboration between sorting systems and creative reuse practices.

We'll also hear from designer, lecturer and researcher Anna Lidström, who will share insights from her practice designing garments using post-consumer textiles as a material resource.
