End-of-Life Textiles in the Northern Periphery & Arctic Region: Insights, Policy and Circular Opportunities

We are pleased to invite you to an upcoming webinar organised as part of the Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic (NPA) THREADs project, exploring how end-of-life textiles can support circular solutions, informed policy and new economic opportunities in the NPA region.

The webinar will present key findings on the composition of end-of-life textiles in Sweden and Finland, showing how improved data can support reuse and recycling, help meet legislative requirements such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and strengthen advocacy for greater societal responsibility. The session will also feature guest speakers from France and Ireland, who will share national perspectives on textile waste management, EPR developments, and emerging challenges and opportunities.
