This conference intends to emphasize the most "noble" approaches of the circular economy: reuse, durability and repairability and, logically, eco-design by presenting points of view and testimonies of an international scenario within the industrial manufacturing sector with respect to sustainability, observed from the point of views of policy makers, research, training and, obviously, manufacturer and operators. 

The event is organized in two sessions, each of which focuses on the different dimensions of sustainability mentioned above (tangible and intangible). Each session includes inspirational interventions as well as case studies that show how those concepts are translated into real business in the EU. The first session will give a broad overview and will serve as an introduction to the second one that will focus on the textile sector.
The second session will be directly connected with the textile exhibition area where leading companies are showcasing their activities in the field of circular economy. 

A few textile companies and/or consortia exhibiting or participating in Ecomondo 2025 will be invited to participate to an open debate. Companies will be able to ask questions, suggest solutions and express needs in an open debate with all speakers invited to this event representing the following sectors: EU and National policy making, research, training, secondhand market and other manufacturing sectors.
