Market-aligned interventions for cleaner production in the textiles value chain, in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa

Implementation-focused projects that prove the viability of, or pilot, solutions in commercial value chains, that address problematic practices in this sector, including but not limited to excessive consumption of raw materials, water, and energy; and generation and poor management of liquid effluents and solid waste. Projects should bring together the following parties:

  • Retailers and other textile buyers (demand side parties) and
  • The manufacturers operating in the textiles value chain (supply-side parties)
  • Solution providers, including technology providers and research institutions in the pollution-control and circularity areas.

Note that other countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia may be considered.
