🌍 Reflecting on our participation in the Buyer Meets Supplier event last Tuesday, a matchmaking event for industrial textiles and professional clothing, organized by Motiv members including Ellie partners like Fedustria and OVAM. Curious about our key takeaways? 👀 🌱 Scaling innovative and sustainable technologies remains a significant challenge, particularly regarding end-product demand. Public procurers can play a crucial role in driving this forward. 🌱However, awareness and knowledge-building are essential for ensuring that 'sustainable' criteria integrated into tenders make sense. As highlighted by Edwin Maes from Centexbel, requiring an increasing % of recycled content shouldn't compromise garment quality and longevity. 🌱 Another insightful point from Edwin: there's recyclability and "potential for" recyclability. It's crucial to combine these claims with effective technology providers. 🌱 Companies are forging ahead with numerous developments; local innovation is booming! 🌱 Access to information is abundant and partners like Ovam invest a lot of time in creating content to enable informed decision-making. Now it comes down to the various stakeholders investing time to take advantage of this and build the necessary know-how themselves. The event's diversified audience reflected a strong interest and curiosity in exploring possibilities. Let us take advantage of this positive energy and turn it into concrete actions. Not sure where to start? Ellie.Connect bridges the gap to essential knowledge, connections, and inspiring examples you need now. Community Manager Amélie Verbeke is ready to guide you through this journey with a personalized demo.
