How to establish the necessary infrastructure? How EPR systems for textiles work, how to educate citizens and how to secure financing for circular economy projects? Speakers said that these questions will be crucial for local governments in the coming years, so cities and municipalities should already plan concrete steps and implementation models.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Humana Nova CEO <strong>Ivan Bo\u017ei\u0107<\/strong> joined the panel on infrastructure, collection, and recycling, highlighting just how important social enterprises are to managing textile waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Textile waste is becoming one of the key issues of the green transition. But it is also a massive opportunity for the development of local communities, the circular economy and social entrepreneurship, said Bo\u017ei\u0107, who was named Europe\u2019s second-best social enterprise manager for work integration in late 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/humananova.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/buducnost-tekstilnog-otpada-05-2026-img1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/humananova.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/buducnost-tekstilnog-otpada-05-2026-img1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/humananova.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/buducnost-tekstilnog-otpada-05-2026-img1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/humananova.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/buducnost-tekstilnog-otpada-05-2026-img1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/humananova.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/buducnost-tekstilnog-otpada-05-2026-img1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/humananova.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/buducnost-tekstilnog-otpada-05-2026-img1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/humananova.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/buducnost-tekstilnog-otpada-05-2026-img1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Change starts before the bin: Products should be designed for durability and recycling<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Representatives from cities, government ministries, the European Commission, the recycling industry, the social economy, science and the creative sector sent a clear message: the real solution lies in prevention, education, smarter product design, and joint action by all stakeholders, not penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The transition actually starts long before we reach for the recycling bin. It begins with how we design, buy, use, and think about clothing. When products are designed to last and easy to recycle, keeping them in the loop is simple. On the other hand, poor design ruins sustainability from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conference was supported by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Green Transition, alongside the European Commission Representation in Croatia. The goal was to bring together local government leaders, utility companies, decision-makers, experts, industry representatives, recycling companies and other stakeholders to discuss the legal framework, infrastructure challenges, financing models and best practices from Croatia and across Europe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, Humana Nov stands as a prime example of how textiles can get a second life\u2014all while creating new jobs and making a real social impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">About the conference: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.udruga-gradova.hr\/dogadanje\/buducnost-tekstilnog-otpada-tekstilni-otpad-i-odgovornost-lokalne-samouprave\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The future of textile waste: Textile waste and the responsibility of local governments<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iako Hrvatsku do 2028. o\u010dekuje puna uspostava sustava pro\u0161irene odgovornosti (Extended Producer Responsibility, ERP) proizvo\u0111a\u010da za tekstil i obu\u0107u, mnogi gradovi i op\u0107ine jo\u0161 uvijek nemaju razvijen sustav odvojenog prikupljanja tekstila. \u010culo se to na velikoj konferenciji o budu\u0107nosti tekstilnog otpada, koju je 11. svibnja u Zagrebu organizirala Udruga gradova Republike Hrvatske.\u00a0 Konferencija je otvorila [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":22630,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[67,147,163,99,174],"class_list":["post-22599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti","tag-drustveno-poduzece","tag-gospodarenje-tekstilnim-otpadom","tag-prikupljanje-tekstila","tag-tekstilni-otpad","tag-zelena-tranzicija"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
