A collaborative project between SETU's Carlow campus, Carlow County Council and Carlow Town's charity retail sector placed students at the forefront of addressing textile sustainability and circular economy challenges in the town.

The initiative involved 16 international students from SETU Carlow's 4th Year Applied Business Solutions course, who explored how circular economy principles can reduce textile waste and support more sustainable consumption locally.

Dermot Keyes of KCLR News spoke to Jannette O'Brien, Carlow County Council's Climate Action Co-ordinator about the project's successes and the insights it delivered.
