TTZ's Textile Waste, Wastewater and Resource Efficiency oriented "Training Workshop and Learning Discussion"

Project Information

In this project, the current application of existing international
environmental and social standards in the textile industry in
developing and emerging countries will be investigated. Target
countries are Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam,
China, Morocco, Tunisia, Ethiopia, Turkey. It deals with the complete
textile industry ́s value chain, including the textile manufacturing
process and the supply industry. The situation will be documented in
order to provide concrete recommendations for sustainable
dissemination of environmental technologies in the producing countries
of the textile industry to the German Federal Ministry of Economic
Cooperation and Development. The recommendations for actions are based
on the results of detailed literature and project database, in "Round
Table Discussions" with all actors involved, as well as on site visits
in the target countries. The results of the work are summarized and
evaluated in three "Thesenpapier" and in a final report. Within three
regional workshops in Ethiopia, Bangladesh and Myanmar, the innovative
environmental technologies are being worked out, approaches to
implement the technology are explained and know-how will be
transferred. As an outcome of the project, a network for environmental
standards and dissemination of environmental technologies in the
textile industry in developing and emerging countries will be
established.
