Green Industries SA (GISA) has awarded the 2024–25 Women in Circular Economy Leadership Scholarship to Ms Angelina Russo for her project, The Circular Textile Hub: A Design-Led Model for Textile Circularity on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Ms Russo will explore international models of design-led circular textile hubs and assess how these could be adapted for regional SA. Her work will produce a research report on global best practices, an implementation framework for a hub in the Fleurieu region, and a toolkit to help local councils and communities evaluate and plan similar initiatives.
The scholarship program, delivered by GISA since 2016–17 supports emerging and established female leaders in circular economy fields such as waste reduction, resource recovery, and remanufacturing.
