The cluster of advanced textile materials in Catalonia, AEI Textiles, Together with Packaging Clusterr and the collaboration of Leitat Technology Center, has started the project texsospack, co-financed by the Waste Agency of Catalonia within the framework of the Circular Economy Promotion programme. The project aims to promote the implementation of the sustainable packaging in the sector of advanced textile materials.
Texsospack will contribute to promoting and improving coordination and communication between the two sectors, packaging and advanced textile materials, to establish and strengthen this key alliance in terms of waste prevention, extend the useful life cycle of the materials used and help to decarbonize the productive economy.
As a starting point, an analysis of the state of the art of good practices in sustainable primary, secondary and tertiary packaging in different sectors will be carried out. In parallel, the main challenges of the advanced textile materials sector will be collected and the most common and priority ones will be determined. With this information, an intercluster session will be organized between companies in the sector and packaging companies, with the intention of exposing challenges and, through a work dynamic, proposing solutions.
Of the proposed solutions, four will be selected, of which an environmental assessment will be carried out. Finally, with all the information generated, a study will be prepared that aims to be a guide on how to implement sustainable packaging in companies in the advanced textile materials sector and that could be extrapolated to other companies in the textile sector and even to other sectors.
The objective of Texsospack is to facilitate the green transition in the sectors of advanced textile materials and packaging in Catalonia, both of which are mostly made up of SMEs, generating new business opportunities to increase their competitiveness, based on close collaboration and impact reduction. environment of its services and products.
