Insights & Inspiration

Sharing methods, ideas, and innovations

ACTE believes in people and ideas. Here, at Insights & Inspiration, we share experiences and insights for individuals, industries, and territories. So that we all can create the fabrics of the future.

Over the years, members of the ACTE organisation have been pursuing innovative projects and ideas. For example, recently we published our White paper on Textile Waste management (produced by Modacc) and some of the published ideas and innovations are included here.

Sharing ideas
Through ACTE, we also share ideas on design, cultural heritage and other inspiring projects. Often, these are international projects, sometimes supported by the EU.
Here, at “Insights & Inspiration” you find solutions already in use. We also share links, so that you can find out more about the background, challenges, and solutions.
