Project closing conference takes place on Wednesday, June 17
Fifty tonnes of used clothing, bed linen, footwear and other textile materials have been collected free of charge in five localities in Ilfov County, through 12 dedicated containers installed by the Bucharest Metropolitan Area Intercommunity Development Association (ADIZMB) as part of the transnational project „Enhancing Danube Green Textile and Garment Production and Consumption” — Green-Tex.
On Wednesday, June 17, ADIZMB will present the results of this innovative pilot during the conference „Sustainability in the Textile Industry — Enhancing Danube Green Textile and Garment Production and Consumption”, hosted at ARCUB – Hanul Gabroveni, starting at 10:30. The event marks the completion of the Green-Tex project, financed through the Danube Transnational Programme, which brought together 11 partner organisations from nine countries across the Danube region.
In the spring of 2025, ADIZMB implemented a pilot system for the separate collection of textile waste in five localities in Ilfov County: Berceni, Brănești, Pantelimon, Popești-Leordeni and Vidra. Through the 12 dedicated collection containers placed in accessible community locations, approximately 50 tonnes of textile waste were collected and redirected for sorting, reuse and recycling by the end of 2025.
