Course title: Sustainable textile production on demand with zero waste through EU Green Deal
Part of MICROCREDENTIAL / module: SUSTAINABILITY TOOLS FOR ASSESSING OF TEXTILE PRODUCTS / Sustainable Textile Engineering
EQF level: 6
ECTS credits: 1
Learning methods and duration: Approximately 25 hours independent online self-studies, including materials, videos, quizzes and tests.
Assessment methods:
- Initial assesment (quIz)
- Formative assessments (quizzes)

General objective: The learner will be introduced to:
-
Principles of sustainable textile materials, production technologies, and finishing processes, including their impact on product lifetime, resource use, and environmental footprint.
-
Strategies for zero-waste, modular, repairable, and circular textile design to enhance product sustainability and enable circularity.
-
Methods for managing textile waste streams, including sorting, recycling, upcycling, and redesign, within EU and global regulatory frameworks.
-
Tools for assessing sustainability, including Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), eco-labels, and digital design tools (CAD/CAM) for material efficiency and circular product development.
-
Approaches to integrate sustainability thinking across textile engineering, combining material selection, production technology, design, and end-of-life management.
