Going Green Trainings #5: Navigating EU Textiles and Chemical Legislation: Implications for SMEs

On 10 April 2025, we hosted a fifth 'Going Green Trainings' webinar, organised as part of the RegioGreenTex Community Talks, on "Navigating EU Textiles and Chemical Legislation: Implications for SMEs". In this training webinar, we explored the intersection of the EU Textiles Strategy and the EU Chemical Strategy within the framework of the EU Green Deal. It outlined key policies and regulations that stem from these initiatives, including REACH and the management of substances of concern (SOCs). Our main speaker, Steffen Schellenberger from RISE, provided essential knowledge to navigate compliance challenges and align with sustainability goals.

Thank you to all participants!
