Transitions

In Transitions, universities, colleges, platforms and institutes work together to support the transition to a more sustainable, circular textile and fashion industry. The project does this by developing new learning methods and tools to support students, young designers and professionals with the real, everyday challenges that the green transition necessitates.

Approach

A circular economy aims to preserve the value of products, materials and resources for as long as possible by bringing them back into the product cycle at the end of their use, minimising waste generation.

In the Transitions project, partners are working together on new training methods to cope with digital and green transformation. The aim is to create collaborative and practical training where different actors in the value chain work on how to use new technologies to prepare their business models for the future.

NewTexEco

Transitions is part of the broad NewTexEco community, in which ArtEZ, Hogeschool van Amsterdam, Saxion and more than 30 partners work together to transition to a circular textile chain, with design as the driving force.
