Bioeconomy in our daily life: Wear What You Talk – Bioeconomy & Textiles
As part of the BLOOM Bioeconomy Webinar Series, the Austrian and German hub of the Bloom project is organising a free Pan-European webinar focusing on bioeconomy and textiles, in collaboration with the Nordic hub.
Did you know that most of the fibers that are produced globally are made from non-renewable resources? In this webinar we will elaborate on the role of the textile and fashion industry within bioeconomy. Moreover, you will learn more about the universe of natural fibers. What kind of natural resources are applied? How can fiber production be sustainable? And what does this mean for me as a consumer?
During a lively discussion, you will be able to engage with leading experts of the textile- and fashion industry and ask them what you always wanted to know.
