The city of Elche will host a crucial event on April 24, organized by the Circular Economy Cluster Association, focusing on integrating circularity into the textile and footwear sectors.

The transition towards more sustainable production models is no longer an option but a strategic necessity for the business fabric. In this context, the Circular Economy Cluster Association has organized the meeting “Circularity that generates business,” a conference specifically aimed at companies in the textile and footwear sectors, two key industries in the Valencian Community.
The event aims to move from theory to action, demonstrating how the circular economy can become a real lever for competitiveness, innovation, and the generation of new business opportunities. This initiative comes at a decisive moment, aligned with policies such as the Spain Circular 2030 Strategy, promoted by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, which establishes ambitious goals such as reducing material consumption and waste generation in the country.
During the conference, attendees will be able to learn about real cases, tools, and practical approaches to integrate circularity into their business models. Additionally, the event will foster networking among companies, entities, and professionals committed to the sustainable transformation of the territory.

"We are at a turning point: it is no longer enough to know what the circular economy is; it is time to apply it collaboratively and generate a real impact on the business fabric."
