Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the textile apparel value chain face the challenge of ensuring the traceability of their products with regard to their suppliers and customers. This makes it all the more important to initiate capacity building among SMEs to enable them to deal with the challenges appropriately, while exploiting their specific strengths.
To support those actors, a workshop series (two onsite and one online workshops) will be organised in the framework of Interreg ECHT project to offer a unique opportunity for all actors in the textile apparel value chain to build their capacity regarding chemicals traceability. The workshops will be split between the cotton and polyester apparel sectors.
This serie will end with its third workshop which will be organised on 18th June 2025 in Paris. This final (full day) workshop will draw on the insights generated in the first two workshops and allow participants to experience the challenges and strategies of implementing traceability first-hand. In a simulation game, they will take on the role of a stakeholder in the textile value chain and play out strategies, negotiations and business cases for traceability. The insights and knowledge gained from this game will be collected and shared at the end of the workshop series.
Additional information and registration link for the first workshop are available on its dedicated webpage.
