To support and strengthen the cohesion of the V4 countries in the
efforts to achieve a more sustainable consumption culture and thus
more sustainable production models in the selected consumer goods’
markets.
Project objective
3. 3
Ecological and social problems of T&C industry are directly or
indirectly arising from snowballing consumption.
Manufacturers may use new designs and technologies to
minimize the impact of a product on the environment, but their
efforts are pointless if consumers do not buy more sustainable
textile and clothing products and do not change their
consumption habits.

Therefore a change in the attitudes of consumers towards a more responsible behaviour is needed. It is a gradual process that needs appropriate knowledge, awareness, and frequently the modification of long-standing habits
Why shouldn’n we limit ourselfs only to the suplly part – eco innovations – sustainable technologies and products…
Therefore we have to analysie intermediate connections and influences of:
Demand side of the market – consumers
Supply side of the market – produces
