Circle economy lived in many senses
The Glärnisch Textil cooperative gives a concrete answer to the contemporary demand to find the transition from questionable, wasteful forms of production and consumption to the careful form of the circular economy. At the center of this is the attitude to obtain and use materials and auxiliary substances that are naturally available, to process them into good, contemporary products that can comfortably meet everyday needs, and finally to completely and temporarily give the resources back to their origin without any damage and problems. This applies to materials as well as to production conditions, workers and - as long as they are part of our general economic and social system - finance. With its statutes and especially its mission statement, the Glärnisch Textil cooperative is closely committed to this sustainable view of things and new reality. What they and their contributors experience is a lot at once: question and answer, attempt and success, departure and fulfillment, challenge and enthusiasm.

Consistent solidarity: recovering the regional textile industry and providing renewable raw materials
The roughly 600 tons of straw that the pilot crushing plant may process per year make fibres and shives more or less to equal weights: While the shives go into the production of shaped stones (hanfstein.eu) or into horticulture and agriculture, the raw fibers depending on their fineness and quality, go into the processing of yarns, cloths and fashion, or of construction and insulation materials or, depending on industrial requirements, diverse (composite) materials. Where coarse straw can hardly be processed mechanically, the ecologically sound dissolution and processing into viscose or plastics can come into play.
