Closing the loop for workwear

During the two-year project that was kicked off in the beginning of 2023, the transdisciplinary team will investigate and evaluate circular design and reuse practices, wash and use processes up to the end of the product’s life, and product life cycle data. As a result, the CWW project will develop circular eco-design criteria, a common reverse logistics concept, measures for the implementation of circular business models, and a data model for real-time tracking of value and environmental impact (e.g., CO2 emissions).

The research project is funded by the Swiss Agency for Innovation – Innosuisse and supported by Coop, Säntis Textiles and Sustainable Textiles Switzerland 2030.
