Why 100% circular textile education?

Good cooperation between textile professionals with different types of training is important to achieve results in the pursuit of a circular textile chain.

For education, this means that different types of students learn to speak each other’s language and work together on circular tasks. The graduates, the new generation of change agents, understand each other and are taking their role in the transition from a linear to a circular system.
