Accelerating the Transition of the Indian Textile Sector  towards Circularity (IndiaTex) The project objective is to accelerate the transition of the Indian textile sector towards circularity.

The value chain approach is a proven intervention strategy that UNEP has successfully applied previously. By addressing the entire system, the value chain approach identifies the drivers and barriers that shape a value chain’s operations. By engaging all stakeholders, the value chain approach identifies the most effective solutions and defines a common agenda for concerted actions that can transform the system. This project will intervene at 1) the business level to support implementation and changes in practices, by guiding Indian textile brand SMEs in implementing and communicating about circular business models and the benefits associated herewith, as well as working with Indian textile manufacturers in measuring their product environmental footprint (PEF) ; and  2) at  the government level to support policy development to move towards circular business models in the textiles sector based on knowledge and evidence (including needs identified through the business-level support).
