landfill every second.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Eurostat estimates that textile waste accounts for around 8% of all municipal waste in Lithuania. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Target group<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Primary target group &#8211; economically inactive and unemployed people, aiming to encourage them to start social businesses.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Solution<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Secondary design allows resources to be recycled back into the economy before technologically sophisticated, costly recycling solutions are available.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The project uses a social business simulator, where participants create their own secondary design products while growing a real social business company.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Innovation<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To address the problem of textile surplus in Lithuania, Textale, a social business in its fifth year, is mobilising a community of design professionals and enthusiasts to develop recycled design projects so that objects that are no longer fit for their intended use can be repurposed by reusing their materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Unique Selling Point<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">People are encouraged and trained to set up a business or make a fashion without much investment, from what&#8217;s around.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Impact<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The immediate impact is not very large, but the project is mobilising a community of like-minded people in support of sustainable fashion, with an established platform for swapping and sharing clothes, and well-attended events.
