BALTIC2HAND

The joint cross-border challenge that the project tackles is the underuse of textile. It is caused by a lack of circularity in the textile and fashion industries leading to an overflow of textile waste. All CB countries must work together to find solutions to prevent unnecessary used textile exports from Finland and Sweden to Estonia, Latvia, and elsewhere.
The project aims to improve textile reuse and reduce textile waste, which will be achieved through improving the business models of second-hand companies and other companies that want to add a second-hand operation to their business and also through enhancing consumers’ use of second-hand market as both sellers and consumers.
