This workshop is part of the Circularity and Used Textiles Trade project, funded by the European Union. The project seeks to promote a circular, sustainable, and inclusive trade in used textiles by identifying policy, financial, and systemic enablers of transformative change. The aim of the workshop is to seek inputs on a framework to develop global criteria to differentiate re-usable textiles from waste, along with guidelines and enabling conditions for the trade of used textiles to enhance circularity and sustainability, reduce environmental, economic and social impacts while maximizing shared benefits across trading partners.
The consultation will bring together stakeholders across the value chain - governments, industry, and civil society, to inform the development of these criteria and guidelines, drawing on research and consultations in four partner countries with the support of Kenya Institute of Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA) in Kenya, Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) in Pakistan, The Or Foundation in Ghana, and Tunis International Center for Environmental Technologies (CITET) in Tunisia.
