About the Rewaft project​

REWAFT project wants to raise awareness on the water footprint in the textiles sector and raise the sustainability skills of students and textile companies regarding the sustainable use of water in textiles. In particular, the project is going to develop a model and an online tool, which will help textile companies measure the water footprint and develop action plans in order to reduce it.

Moreover, the project will develop an e-learning course for companies, organise study visits, collect good practices and develop a series of seminar courses for HEI students and graduates from the fields of textiles engineering, in order to develop their sustainability skills in reducing the water footprint of the textiles sector.

These practices will prepare HEI students, graduates and staff to become true agents of change and will result in a significant reduction of the water footprint in textiles.

Objectives

The main objective of the project is to raise awareness of the water usage and the water footprint of the textile sector and to train HEI students and companies staff, on how to reduce the water footprint of the textiles industry.
