OUR MISSION
The mission of the project Tex-EASTile is to create a new synergy between the public and private sector in order to disseminate knowledge, to promote the application of eco-design tools and to spread product sustainability principles in manufacturing productions and consumptions, encouraging PAs to purchase them. Tex-EASTile foresees the involvement of SMEs of the textile sector in 6 different countries of the South East European region. The aim is to foster the exchange of good practices and innovative tools targeted to quality and environmental certification of production and products. In these terms, Tex-EASTile also supports the implementation of pilot projects. Tex-EASTile aims to raise awareness among Public Administrations on eco-sustainable principles applied to contracted works and services (Green Public Procurement) and the project also aims at providing PAs with best practices to make the "greening" process easier in public consumptions. The purpose of Tex-EASTile is to establish a community of excellence to improve the offer of "green" textile in the market, supporting, in particular, the innovation of production and distribution processes in order to reduce their environmental impact.
