During the last years, Tunisia's government strengthened the textiles sector to boost rural employment and drive economic change. A strategic focus, among others, was put on environmental friendly production which is why the Tunisian Textile and Clothing Federation (FTTH) has organised a seminar on the recovery and recycling of post-industrial waste in the clothing sector. Furthermore, Tunisia’s textile industry wants to place greater focus on sustainable business practices, with the launch of a new initiative that will engage stakeholders in aligning with circular production principles and creating a more robust recycling infrastructure. Examples like the Tunisian company Sofrip, a leading actor in textile recycling, which has the goal of upholding a ‘zero waste’ philosophy or companies which are responsible for over half of Nudie Jeans production value to develop greener production processes, are change-makers towards more sustainable production of textiles.
