Decision making process to support the creation of shared values and practices
We aim at stimulate the dialogue between European stakeholders and policy makers to facilitate the drafting of an harmonized view, aimed at developing the European wool supply chain.
This workshop stems from the Italian online workshop entitled "Creation of a Chain of Native Wool in Italy" held on April 21, 2020, where several challenges and bottlenecks were highlighted. The workshop will also be part of the EU Green Week [www.eugreenweek.eu], which this year theme is nature and biodiversity.
>>> Non-conventional uses of raw wool can contribute to the survival of sheep farming, which is an important and traditional activity in worldwide mountain and arid regions, where there are few alternative forms of production or income.
>>> Management of raw wool waste as a biodegradable renewable biomass has social, economic and environmental benefits contributing to the sustainable development concept.
>>> Several non-clothing applications of raw wool: building insulation, oil spill sorbents, soil fertilizers, carbon nanofibers and scaffolds for tissue engineering have been developed.
