Lithuania plans to invest over 10 million euros to expand textile waste recycling capabilities due to increasing waste volumes, with over 50 tons collected annually. Currently, only about 22 percent of textiles are separately collected in Lithuania, and most collected items are either reused or incinerated. The Ministry of Environment acknowledges limited current recycling capacity but plans to boost infrastructure and reuse through collaboration with municipalities and the private sector. Meanwhile, other European countries are focusing on circular economy models; Italy is promoting this through consortia and digital product passports, Croatia recycles a significant portion of collected textiles, and Spain has made textile infrastructure a strategic priority, requiring manufacturers to fund the collection and recycling of their products by 2025.

PULSE is an initiative for cross-border collaborative journalism in Europe co-funded by the European Commission under Grant Agreement n. PO 4500158093.

PULSE is an initiative coordinated by OBCT that has been promoting intensive journalistic cross-border collaborations in Europe since 2024. Its main aim is to help strengthen the European public sphere by reporting on and telling stories from new and diverse perspectives.

At the heart of PULSE are 10 leading national news outlets (Delfi – Lithuania, Deník Referendum – Czechia, Der Standard – Austria, EfSyn – Greece, El Confidencial – Spain, Gazeta Wyborcza – Poland, HotNews – Romania, HVG – Hungary, Il Sole 24 Ore – Italy, Mediapool – Bulgaria) and three transnational organisations, including OBCT , n-ost and Voxeurop .

Additional outlets and journalists are involved as associate partners, including EUobserver , Føljeton (Denmark), H-Alter (Croatia), Levila (Estonia), Rubryka (Ukraine), and The Journal Investigates (Ireland).

PULSE is driven by a sort of virtual transnational newsroom made up of journalists from all the publications involved. It collaboratively produces new journalistic content on European issues on a daily basis, coming in many different languages. The editorial output amounts to over a thousand publications per year, mostly in article form.

PULSE also runs 4 thematic networks open to any European journalist interested in crucial issues such as EU enlargement, relations between the EU and other global powers, the EU’s green transition, or media and the information society. These networks function as online communities and periodically publish calls for pitches.
