Given the scenario that the textile industry is the first in resource consumption and the second most polluting, the provincial deputy, José Ignacio Asensio, said at the opening of the day that “the need to act in the face of climate change highlights the need for a paradigm shift in the textile industry, in the need to move towards responsible consumption and production and the need for collaboration between different agents and between different countries ”.
