Promoting Circular Economy practices, particularly within the textile industry, by encouraging the adoption of circular principles focused on reducing waste through recycling and reusing materials, as opposed to the traditional 'take-make-dispose' linear model.
As part of the project, an online Circular Economy platform re-ko.org was created, along with research assessing waste management practices in the textile sector.
The initiative also included the creation of sustainable fashion collections, organization of the Western Balkans Circular Economy Fair, and an awareness campaign featuring e-newsletters, podcasts, best practices, success stories, and short videos to promote circular economy concepts.
The project is building capacities of the textile industry in waste management and the application of circular economy principles in production operations. Additionally, a Circular Economy Book a flagship activity will be published to further support the transition to sustainable green business practices in Kosovo and Western Balkans.
