Threads NPA in Borås

We just came home from Borås, Sweden with Threads NPA!

Threads is a three-year project funded by Interreg and aims to significantly reduce textile waste. We are very happy to be working with (and learning from) our fellow project partners, including textile waste collectors, regional development experts, universities and specialists in waste management from Sweden, Norway, Ireland and Finland.

During our stay, we visited Borås University and the Swedish School of Textiles, Sweden’s international centre for textiles, fashion and design. Also, Borås-based textile factory and design studio XV production (local, circular, inspiring!) and Wargon Innovation, who has its own textile sorting and demo facility with production equipment and lab space.
