Written By Textile ETP

This report presents SUSTRACK results on the environmental, economic, social and cultural limitations of the linear, fossil-based economy, as well as barriers and potential improvements associated with transitioning to a circular bio-based economy (CBBE). Through an extensive literature review, the research identifies gaps in overcoming these barriers and focuses on four carbon-intensive sectors: construction, fine chemicals, plastics, and textiles. The study explores the trade-offs of the CBBE as an alternative resource strategy, and the requirements for overcoming barriers in terms of knowledge, practical implementation, and opportunities.
