Webinar 'The new normal on ITV - Sustainable Challenges'

Along with the leader of the ATP, the panel of the debate that took place this Wednesday also included Riopele's R&D director, Albertina Reis, the CEO of TINTEX Textiles, Ricardo Silva, the CEO of SASIA Reciclagem, Miguel Ribeiro Silva , and journalist Mariana D'Orey, from T Jornal, as moderator.

At a meeting aimed at taking the impacts of the pandemic without sustainable challenges in the national textile sector, the president of ATP also recalled that, despite the need for policies and legislation the final consumer has a key role in the entire production chain. “It is necessary to train the companies' commercials, to communicate in a simple way the processes and materials used and to reach emotions.
