Description
This international mission brought to Portugal a delegation composed of clusters and companies from Spain, Italy, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Poland and Portugal, representing various sectors linked to technology, sustainability and industry.
Two PRODUTECH associated companies — ERISING and INTROSYS — were also part of the delegation.
Throughout the two‑day program, participants had the opportunity to learn more about the work carried out by leading national organizations.
The Learning Expedition included visits to CITEVE, CENTI, RIOPELE, LIPOR and VALERIUS 360, all of which stand out for their contribution to innovation, circularity and sustainability in the textile sector and in waste management.
PRODUTECH extends its thanks to all the entities that welcomed the delegation, as well as to the TEX‑BREIN organization for preparing this initiative. The experience allowed participants to deepen their understanding of textile recycling in Portugal, raising awareness of the importance of circularity and highlighting the crucial role that Production Technologies will continue to play in building a more sustainable industry.
