RETRAKT: Resilient Circular Economy
The research project RETRAKT aims to make the transformation of the textile industry towards a circular economy sustainable and resilient. To achieve this, we are developing a procedure to implement the necessary transformation processes within companies while actively engaging employees. The concept of “Resilience Engineering” serves as the research framework. We are testing the implementation in the companies of our project partners.
