Bugetti Signs the Document on Reuse and Recycling by Corertex: Four Commitments for the Future of the Textile District

Between Innovation and Sustainability: The Role of the Prato District in Promoting Circular Economy

Ilaria Bugetti, the center-left mayoral candidate, has recently signed the electoral protocol of Corertex, the Prato consortium representing 30 companies and about 300 employees in the textile reuse and recycling sector. During the meeting with Corertex president Raffaello De Salvo, Bugetti expressed her full support for the commitments requested by the consortium to promote sustainability and innovation in the textile district.

The commitments signed include:

1. Introduction of a specific Ateco code for companies sorting used clothing: This measure is essential to uniquely identify these companies and facilitate access to tax benefits and incentives.
2. Establishment of a specific delegation for circular textile economy within the department of environment or economic development: This delegation will allow for more targeted and effective management of policies for textile reuse and recycling.
3. Close collaboration between Alia and the reuse and recycling district: The goal is to create a textile hub that enhances the collection and recovery of textile waste, moving beyond the inefficient door-to-door collection system.
4. Support for the textile district at the national and European institutional level: Promoting the culture of reuse and recycling and intercepting European funds intended for ecological transition for local companies.
