Overview

Come and participate

Have you ever met a person who has nothing to do with the field of creativity? Neither have we - all of us at some point of life need to use our creativity in our everyday life, even in little bits.

Creativity and the creative economy has the power within to transform other sectors of our everyday life.

The Circular Economy has been an important topic for a while. The scarcity of many natural resources has brought more sustainable ways of production as a top priority.

By combining the two - creativity and circularity - we believe we can achieve a Creative Circular Economy where different types of wastes are upcycled and distributed to the masses.

The main challengeswe have today, to name a few:

  • Udes clothes are being thrown away
  • On a post-Industrial level up to 40% of intake materials are discarded
  • Quality raw material is wasted which can be used for fashion design, accessories and so on

Loov Eesti, Ida-Viru Centre of Creative Industry and Textileinventory recycling specialists, craftsmen, designers, entrepreneurs and other active participants who wish to find new business models and approaches in joining together creative industries and circular economy.
