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.
