?? Meet the Ambassadors: Lutz Walter ?? Lutz Walter, Secretary General at Textile ETP, an advocate for sustainable innovation in the textile sector, highlights the need for urgent change: "#Waste2BioComp is a timely and strategic project to explore different novel pathways to more sustainable, resource-efficient and, where applicable, more easily biodegradable material alternatives." Today, about two-thirds of all textile fibres come from non-renewable fossil resources. To build a truly sustainable future, we must develop biobased alternatives for fibres, chemicals, and coatings. That’s where #W2BC comes in. By exploring the use of organic waste and underutilised biobased feedstocks, the project aims to reduce reliance on fossil resources while creating more sustainable, biodegradable materials. ?? Stay tuned for more insights from industry leaders driving change! ?? #MeetTheAmbassadors #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #Innovation

?? Meet the Ambassadors: Paulo Gon?alves ?? Paulo Gon?alves, Marketing Communications Manager at APICCAPS Associa??o Portuguesa de Cal?ado, emphasises the importance of innovation in Europe’s footwear sector: "Portugal is home to one of the most consolidated fashion ecosystems in Europe, which we need to boost with new initiatives and new projects, such as #Waste2BioComp, so that we can aim for a prominent place on the international competitive scene." ?? With 22 billion pairs of shoes produced annually, 88% of them in Asia, it’s time to rethink where and how footwear is made. Europe has the expertise, the craftsmanship, and the drive to produce high-quality, sustainable footwear at fair prices. By embracing cutting-edge solutions like #W2BC, the industry can move towards a greener, more responsible future. Stay tuned for more insights from industry leaders driving sustainable innovation! ?? #MeetTheAmbassadors #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #Innovation
