ENTeR considered the environmental consequences of the COVID-19  pandemic. The dramatic increase in the need for single-use masks by the population is producing a new waste stream for which we do not know the recycling potential. The partners saw the opportunity to apply the already tested approach to textile waste coming from these medical materials. With a new pilot, we are analysing sorting methods, dismantling procedures, cleaning treatments, and potential recycling processes to minimise the loss of non- renewable resources.This activity will lead to draft Guidelines for the whole sector, stakeholders and policy makers in Central Europe and beyond.

Thanks to the results obtained with the ENTeR project Centrocot and the Unione degli Industriali della Provincia di Varese organize during the next month of May 4 free thematic webinars on "RECYCLING OF TEXTILE MATERIALS AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY" . The courses will be held in e.learning mode and in Italian language.

It is the topic discussed with ERGO Sant'Anna in Centrocot. Through a Check-Up Tool application developed by ERGO Sant'Anna it was possible to measure the level of "circularity" of the production processes of 5 textile companies in the province of Varese. The Tool analyzes strengths and weaknesses emerging from the measurement and seize the opportunities for improvement of the internal circular economy practices.

The meeting "Knowledge Exchange & Transformation training" of the interreg project CIRCE 2020 was held on November 22 in Bassano del Grappa. Centrocot participated as leader partner of the ENTeR project, bringing the experience of the M3P platform to stimulate the Circular Economy and industrial symbiosis.
