The MOOC aims to describe the approach to sustainability in the Italian textile manufacturing sector (for clothing and other sectors) with a specific focus on all steps of the production chain.
Each video focuses on one step of the supply chain (raw material sourcing, spinning, weaving, design, prototyping, production, integration of innovative technologies in the processes) and tells the state of the art on the sector's sustainable approach, possible plans and interventions, as well as the opportunities that companies will have to seize in the immediate future in terms of social and environmental responsibility. The topics are addressed by Politecnico di Milano lecturers and industry professionals as guest speakers.

The course was very useful in terms of educating the fashion industry people about the sustainability importance. The only issue was that the volume of the persons almost in every video was very low.

To me, the materials are excellent, but one thing needs to be improved the way the lecture explains the subject, it's clear that the lecture is reading a script. But it doesn't matter if you're looking for a piece of good knowledge about sustainable textile, this course is one of a good option.

Only gives a bit of a broader idea on the topic; most of the course is just citing examples of companies.

This course was very robotic and you can clearly see that the lecturers are reading a script with 0 emotions in every single video. All the learning material was easy to understand. I'd gain the same amount of knowledge if I have a 10 min conversation with Chat GPT. A few academic articles provided was the only thing that had quality.

Not very intuitive. Just robotic lectures with nothing to relate to. Additionally, the accent was very hard to understand.
