The Waste Agency of Catalonia (ARC)
The ARC is a public entity with jurisdiction over the waste generated and managed in Catalonia.
In order to improve the quality of life of the citizens of Catalonia and protect the environment, the ARC promotes prevention, selective collection and recovery of waste.
Reuse of any object prevents it from becoming waste, at the same time as it slows down new products manufacture. Within textiles circularity, the ARC promotes the use of second-hand clothing.
Pact for Circular Fashion
Signed in May 2022, the Pact is a voluntary commitment between institutions and companies of the textile value chain in Catalonia facilitating incorporation of circularity measures, promotion of collaborative projects and improvement of competitiveness of the sector.
