The updated EU Industrial Strategy highlights the need to accelerate the green and digital transitions of the EU industry and its ecosystems. To that end, it proposes cooperation between industry, public authorities, social partners and other stakeholders. This co-creation process will lead to transition pathways for each ecosystem.
Together with the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles, we are now inviting stakeholders to join us in the co-creation of a transition pathway for the textiles ecosystem. Through this inclusive process, we will identify what the digital and green transitions and increasing resilience mean for the textiles ecosystem, and what specific actions and commitments are needed to accompany the transition.
The sections below will guide you through the different steps of the co-creation process of the Textiles Ecosystem Transition Pathway. The information will be updated regularly.
To initiate the co-creation process, the Commission prepared a staff working document outlining possible scenarios for a transition pathway towards a more resilient, sustainable and digital textiles ecosystem.
This document invites stakeholders to reflect and contribute to the scenarios by 2030 and listed key enablers for the transition of the textiles ecosystem. It invites stakeholders to work together and propose specific actions, commitments and investments.
To gather the inputs from textiles ecosystem actors, the European Commission has launched an online consultation.
Please share your contribution through the dedicated EU online survey. The responses received will be essential to identifying which key areas and topics the future Textiles Ecosystem Transition Pathway should focus on.
The next step of the co-creation process involves the participation of stakeholders in a series of workshops organised by the European Commission. The workshops will focus on sustainability, digitalisation and resilience of the textiles ecosystem in line with the Industrial Forum Blueprint for the development of the transition pathway. The workshops are planned to take place in June and July 2022.
A concluding workshop is planned to be organised in September 2022 in order to finalise the Textiles Ecosystem Transition pathway.
We will update this section as developments take place.
Publication of the Textiles Ecosystem Transition Pathway is expected by the end of 2022.
We will update this section as developments take place.
A key objective of the co-creation process is to collect and document commitments from stakeholders in order to pave the way toward the green and digital transitions of the Textiles ecosystem and its increased resilience.
