This event was organized by TECHTERA, the textile competitiveness cluster, in collaboration with the Lyon Metropolis, Lyon Pacte PME, and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The day was dedicated to a central issue: the valorization of production scraps and dormant stocks in the textile sector, aiming to enhance textile waste resources! ♻️
From the presentation of the first results of the mapping work of industrial waste initiated in 2023, now extending throughout the region, to the discussions about the valorization of end-of-life textiles, the team had the chance to focus more on industrial waste, as well as end-of-life textiles made from #polyamide.
👉 RECYCLING OBJECTIVE
The discussions helped highlight available resources, which had previously not been revalorized, and identify potential synergies with industrial players who are increasingly mapping their waste more accurately.
👉 SCALE-UP OBJECTIVE
The day was rich in exchanges with stakeholders from all sectors: holders of dormant stocks, sorters (Jean-Nicolas CARRELET), innovative startups (still Recyc’Elit🌍 with Jonathan Benguigui & Jean-Michel Duivon), and companies specialized in valorization.
We were able to explore and identify together possible paths to give new life to these underused resources, accelerating the shift toward a more circular economy, including #preconsumer textiles. 😉 Aurélie Warin
Why is this important? Because every piece of production scrap that is valorized, every dormant stock reintegrated into the production chain, along with our end-of-life textiles, is necessary to meet the #2030 and #2050 goals! 😉
Collaboration among all actors in the value chain is crucial to making valorization a concrete reality, with tangible impacts.
A big thank you to the organizers for the quality of this inspiring event and their ongoing commitment to transforming the sector! 💪
