Sustainable practices in the management of responsible textile manufacturing in the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

The textile industry currently generates enormous amounts of waste, and its recycling is essential for reducing the impact on the environment. In order to solve the waste problem, action plans and strategies are being developed to reduce the amount of textile waste and increase the lifespan of textile products globally. The Republic of Moldova is joining and aligning itself with European concerns for sustainability, developing national sustainability programs regarding the application of various measures to reduce the volume of textile waste derived from various sources. The paper presents the results of the study evaluating the implementation of sustainability strategies aimed at the fashion sector and ensuring long-term sustainable development. The study was carried out within the national project, 020408 Research on Ensuring Sustainable Development and Increasing Competitiveness of the Republic of Moldova in a European Context.
