Jordan Chamber & donors discuss textile sector sustainability

A strategic meeting with donor organisations was recently convened by the Jordan Chamber of Industry to enhance sustainability in the textile and garment sector. Discussions focused on strengthening coordination, unifying efforts, and integrating sustainability as a key driver of growth and competitiveness.

Ihab Qadri, representative of the leather and garment industries at the chamber, highlighted the importance of fostering partnerships between donors and international organisations. He described the meeting as a crucial step toward advancing circular economy principles and improving waste management in the sector.

Discussions highlighted the need for a structured strategic plan to guide future projects, enhance the sector’s capacity for sustainable expansion, and develop clear mechanisms for collaboration between donors and local companies. The goal is to accelerate sustainability initiatives, drive measurable progress in environmental conservation, and support long-term sectoral development, as per a report by the Jordan News Agency.

Representatives from international organisations and institutions provided updates on ongoing and upcoming sustainability projects, with a focus on circular economy practices. The meeting also outlined a framework for donor coordination to maximise impact and explored strategies for optimising resource allocation, particularly in textile waste management.

These efforts aim to reinforce the sector’s contribution to economic and environmental transformation, ensuring a more sustainable future for Jordan’s textile and garment industry.
