The event is part of the SINTEC project \u2013 <em data-start=\"239\" data-end=\"289\">Intersectoral Synergies for the Circular Economy<\/em>, an initiative that promotes collaboration between clusters to move towards more circular and efficient production models.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"414\" data-end=\"964\">The SINTEC project is driven by these four clusters and its main objective is to analyse the circularity of waste from the technical textiles industry, especially those with a high polymer content, in order to facilitate their reuse in new materials for the packaging sector. These wastes pose a growing environmental impact due to the complexity of their recycling, the presence of toxic substances, and low reuse rates. In response to this challenge, SINTEC adopts an innovative approach based on industrial symbiosis and intersectoral cooperation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"1448\">During the Intercluster Conference, representatives from companies and organisations across the different clusters took part in a co-creation dynamic, sharing knowledge and experiences to identify joint opportunities for circular innovation. The session explored the potential of polymer-based technical textile waste as a resource for the development of new materials for the packaging sector, identifying challenges, synergies, and possible lines of collaboration between sectors.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1450\" data-end=\"1760\">This event aligns with the specific objectives of the SINTEC project, which include identifying opportunities for industrial symbiosis, designing specific and collaborative actions between clusters, increasing knowledge of the circular economy among their members, and identifying new circular business models.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1762\" data-end=\"1926\">From CREC, we would like to thank all participants for their commitment to continuing to collaboratively build innovative solutions towards a more circular economy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1928\" data-end=\"1986\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><em data-start=\"1928\" data-end=\"1986\" data-is-last-node=\"\">Project supported
