Fashion Forward | Mentoring Programme for the circular transformation of the textile sector

The Mentoring Programme, promoted by Coleo, Modacc, Recyclocc and CITEVE, aims to support companies and other stakeholders across the textile value chain in their transition towards a more circular, competitive, and future-ready business model.

Implemented in Catalonia, Occitania and Portugal, the programme provides practical guidance based on the transfer of specialised technical knowledge, offering tools and solutions to help organisations adapt to the sector’s evolving requirements.

Through a series of thematic modules, the mentoring programme covers key topics such as:

• European regulations and legislation, providing guidance on understanding and complying with new regulatory requirements.
• Textile recycling, covering the entire process from waste management to the production of new materials and products.
• Circular economy, introducing strategies to optimise resource use and extend product life cycles.
• Purpose-driven design, integrating sustainability criteria from the earliest stages of product development.
• Material valorisation, helping identify and maximise the value of recycled and recyclable materials.
• Circular design and ecodesign, applying methodologies to create more sustainable, durable, and easily recyclable products.

The programme is designed for companies, professionals and organisations seeking to acquire practical knowledge, strengthen their innovation capacity, and prepare for the challenges of transitioning to a more sustainable and circular textile sector.
