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. |
