Summary

This report, delivered as part of the SOLSTICE project, examines the potential impacts of the circular textile pilot projects in Berlin, Prato, Catalonia and Grenoble using the concept of replacement rates.

This report is delivered as part of SOLSTICE, an EU Horizon project (grant agreement No.

101134989), aiming to test and demonstrate circular economy pilot projects to address the

environmental and social challenges of the textile industry in four pilot territories: Berlin,

Catalonia, Grenoble, and Prato.

Building upon a previous analysis of the textile ecosystems in these regions (‘territory profiles’), this report aims to provide a preliminary estimate of the potential environmental impact reductions associated with each circular textile pilot currently being designed and implemented across the four territories. The study evaluates impact reductions across four key environmental impact indicators: Global Warming Potential (CO2e), Non-renewable Energy Consumption, Water Consumption, and Land Use.
