The Upcycle Movement chosen to participate in the first professional training programme to promote sustainability in textile industry

Twelve Irish textile companies (including CRNI Member The Upcycle Movement) have been chosen to participate in the first professional training programme to promote sustainability in their industry.

The Creative Futures Academy at National College of Art & Design (NCAD) and Design & Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI) have collaborated to offer a first of its kind professional training programme for the textile industry in Ireland. Twelve companies have been chosen to participate in the pilot of the ‘Circular by Design’ programme which will assist them in making the transition to circularity in their business.
