Filo60: “The future of the textile industry under the new EU strategy”
PRESS RELEASE
The European textile industry has a leading role in European economy and society with almost 200 thousand companies, an employment of 1.3million people and a turnover of €168 billion.
However, according to the European Commission the European consumption of textiles has a very high impact on the environment and climate change. In order to achieve the objectives of the European Green Deal by 2030, the European textile industry is about to undergo a strategic transformation outlined in the new EU strategy for sustainable and circular textiles.
Cristina Gatti – PR and Communication Manager Euratex – explains the challenges and opportunities of this great transformation with the talk entitled: “The future of the textile industry under the new EU Strategy for sustainable and circular textiles”, within the “Dialoghi di Confronto” of the 60th edition of Filo.
The appointment is at Allianz MiCo-Milan, Filo’s Networking Area

The strategic transformation of the European textile industry is in fact outlined in the new EU Strategy on sustainable textile products. The environmental, social and digital transition comes with many challenges for the industry, but also it brings opportunities for competitiveness and growth.
To achieve such a transition, the EU is also providing tools and support for research and innovation in the industry and in the market through the establishing and implementation of many European funded projects, such as RegioGreenTex.
The 60th edition of Filo takes place on 20 and 21 September 2023 at Allianz MiCo – Milan (via Gattamelata 5).
