Om arrangementet

Hvor lenge lever et klesplagg i skapet ditt?

Når blir klær avfall? Er det egentlig så enkelt å reparere?

Fikseriet inviterer til foredrag om nordmenns klesforbruk med Anna Schytte Sigaard, stipendiat på Forbruksforskningsinstituttet SIFO.

Velkommen til VAREhuset i Tollbugata 7, tirsdag 24. oktober kl. 17:00.

Anna Schytte Sigaard er stipendiat på Forbruksforskningsinstituttet SIFO og jobber med bærekraftig kles- og tekstilforbruk. Gjennom sitt PhD-prosjekt vil hun bl.a. undersøke mengder, tilstand, avhendingsmetode og -grunn samt fiberinnhold for klær og andre tekstiler som går ut av bruk i norske husholdninger. I dette foredraget vil hun presentere funn fra prosjektet som viser noe om hva nordmenn kvitter seg med, hvorfor de kvitter seg med det og hvilken tilstand det er i når det går ut av bruk.

Webinar Monday 23rd of October 2023 08:30-11:00

Both the volumes of textile waste and the interest in what to do with it, are growing. Fortunately, knowledge about what textile waste consists of is also growing, as is the interest in regulating the sector.

In this webinar, we will summarize several recent reports on textile waste in Norway and other countries, as well as a report that examines whether environmental strategies take seriously the fact that if the textiles are to be used up, then less must be produced.
The clothes we dispose of are often used – but far from used up.

We ask:
– How can discarded textiles be used in the best possible way to ensure new use, and what kind of knowledge enables us to reduce the amount of used but not used up textiles?
– How much textiles, especially synthetics, are disposed of in Norway? What do wasted textiles consist of, and why and how are they disposed of?
– Which regulatory measures will can be implemented in order to reduce the volumes of textile waste?

This is a dissemination seminar under the Wasted Textiles research project at SIFO, Oslomet, funded by the Research Council of Norway and the Norwegian Retailers Environment Fund.

The webinar will be held in English.

Natural Fibre Connect (NFC) is an alliance between leading alpaca, cashmere, mohair and wool organisations. The NFC logo represents each of these four natural fibres, woven together by their shared goals and challenges as well as their commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – as seen by its resemblance to the SDG17 icon.

The goal of NFC is a world with more Natural Fibres by 2030. Through its events, NFC enables consensus building as well as sharing and understanding of the growers’ and herders’ perspectives.
