Portugal is one of the prime producers of textiles and garments in Europe, and, essentially, a country where clients from all over the world are able to find their ideal business partners, with whom they then go on to establish a lasting, mutually advantageous and added value, business relationship, where product and service complement each other to fulfil a distinctive output. The raised awareness and social responsibility showcased by the Portuguese companies within this sector have morphed into inextricable traits for the former; a boon that, in the last few years, was bolstered by an outstanding performance in the adoption and transformation of processes, now aimed at lessening the sector’s environmental impact: a challenge that the Portuguese have been facing head-on since long before it was outlined by the EU. In Portugal, our industry is responsible and heavily committed to the reduction of its climate and environmental impact, a testament to that being: the investment in the usage of technologies and methodologies that allow for an increase in the efficiency of resources used throughout the entirety of the manufacturing process; the investment in renewable energy sources; the reuse of vital resources, such as water; the increasing adoption of biobased, sustainable and recycled materials, thus promoting industrial symbioses; and the investment in product design and engineering, in partnership with its clients and suppliers, in order to attain a more circular economy. With the goal of showcasing, to the world, some of the best practices, initiatives and projects being undertaken within Portugal’s textile and clothing industry, ATP booted up the project “Sustainable Fashion From Portugal: Fashion Industry’s New Chic”, within which (this) Green Book was developed.
