The EEA has developed a new set of metrics through its Circularity Metrics Lab Textiles Module to monitor environmental performance and circularity uptake in the textiles sector.

During this session, the EEA will present these metrics, supported by real data, followed by a facilitated discussion with a select group of experts and stakeholders on: 

• The strengths and weaknesses of the metrics
• Best practices for effective use
• Strategies for improving data collection and quality, and the role of stakeholders
• How the metrics can inform target setting and decision-making
• The potential for additional metrics needed, including those that address social and economic progress

This webinar provides an opportunity to explore these innovative metrics and participate in crucial discussions on the future of
textile sustainability.
