Get ready to stitch together a Social and Circular future for textiles at our upcoming conference, taking place in the vibrant city of Berlin on the 22nd and 23rd of June 2023!
Please note that our upcoming two-day event will be member-exclusive on the first day, and open to the public on the second day.
This highly anticipated event, organised with the valuable support of our member Fairwertung, will bring together leading experts, social entrepreneurs, policymakers, and social enterprise leaders to discuss the current state of the textiles market and explore innovative ways to increase re-use and reduce textile waste.
The conference kicks off with a day of exclusive sessions designed for the extended RREUSE network, focusing on the challenges and opportunities faced by social enterprises in the current market. Following a panel discussion on the role of social enterprises in the textile industry, participants will be able to explore topics of their own choice through the thematic “converstations” session.
Opening the event up to the general public, the second day will begin with inspiring and informative keynote speeches on the upcoming Waste Framework Directive revision and the German Extended Producer Responsibility strategy. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in engaging discussions on integrating social enterprises in textile waste management policy and maximising local re-use of textiles.
The conference will also explore the topic of innovation in used-textiles management, where you'll discover new ways to collect and sort textiles, explore new re-use practices, and learn about the digitalisation of the re-use sector. RREUSE conferences always love to end on a high note, with unique opportunities for in-person site visits that will allow attendees to gain a hands-on experience of the topic discussed throughout the sessions, panels, and discussions.
This event offers an exceptional opportunity for discussion, learning, creating new connections, finding inspiration, motivation, and developing a stronger network within the social enterprise community. Register now and be a part of the change!
