The in-depth study aims to identify the strengths andelements of further possible strengthening of the current textile products ofthe Lombardy region in terms of environmental and sustainability aspectsconsidered priorities for the sector, in order to define possible competitiveenhancement strategies and, at the same time, possible improvement actions forthese products through EcoDesign actions, to achieve even higher environmentalperformance. 1. Define a framework of the situation on existing tools forLombardy textile ecosystems and systematization of available studies; 2.Collection and analysis of existing LCA/PEF studies and other literatureinputs, datasets, etc. relating to representative products of the Lombardytextile production context; 3. Design and setup of the dataset structure,specific for the supply chain and for the Lombardy region, which once completedcan flow into the Italian LCA Database (e.g.: Arcadia II and Amelia PNRR); 4.Development of Guidelines relating to EcoDesign choices and methods ofcommunicating environmental performance (claims) relating to the representativeLombardy textile products identified.
