With Circular Threads 2.0, the results of the initial study were updated and expanded, once again focusing on Northern Italy before extending the analysis at a national level. The project adopted a more practical and operational approach, aiming to implement concrete initiatives to accelerate the circular transition. The work was developed in three phases:

• The first phase focused on analyzing the barriers hindering the adoption of circularity, with particular attention to the Biella district and the Lombardy region, while also considering national and international best practices, such as those from the Prato district.
• Next, the design of a digital tool was initiated to measure the circularity of textile companies, along with a dedicated website to share best practices. The tool, based on specific indicators and international regulations, supports companies in monitoring their sustainability and circularity.
• Finally, the project includes the publication of a final report that compiles the results achieved, along with operational recommendations for adopting circular business models and eco-design.
