About the Book

1. 1. KRUSING into the future: Restoring a local value chain through cooperation.
Authors: Research Professor Ingun Grimstad Klepp (Consumption Research Norway/Oslo Metropolitan University), Research assistant Vilde Haugrønning (Consumption Research Norway/Oslo Metropolitan University), Editor Tone Skårdal Tobiasson (nicefashion.org).
How the Norwegian research project KRUS (mentioned in the summary) rebooted local value-chains, changing the focus on raw materials, fuelled an interest in local yarns and contributed with innovation and value-creation. The chapter will be based on the KRUS report and the project's PhD and Master's thesis findings, adding some recent developments - such as increased focus on local production of knitting-yarns during the Covid-19 pandemic. The chapter will aim to explain what forces brought about the results, how media-interest was leveraged and thus mushroomed even more activity after the project ended. However, first and foremost the chapter will bring into the discussion how cooperation has dwarfed the focus on competitiveness - challenging the market economy's main purpose and 'raison d'être'.

2. 2. Upping the Woolume: Waste prevention based on optimal use of materials.
Authors: Professor Jan Broda (Institute of Textile Engineering and Polymer Materials, Faculty of Materials, Civil and Environment Engineering, University of Bielsko-Biala), Assistant Professor Monika Rom (University of Bielsko-Biala), Assistant Professor Katarzyna Kobiela-Mendrek (University of Bielsko-Biala), Research Professor Ingun Grimstad Klepp (Consumption Research Norway/Oslo Metropolitan University), Senior Researcher Kirsi Laitala (Consumption Research Norway/Oslo Metropolitan University), Editor Tone Skårdal Tobiasson (nicefashion.org).
Fibre properties have been side-tracked by the increased focus on environmental measurements, specifically Life Cycle Analysis (LCAs)*. The EU is planning for a 'environmental product footprint' measuring system based on these partially problematic tools, mainly for apparel - however other fibre-based products may follow - such as interior-textiles. This type of thinking has resulted in an additional lack of understanding that any given fibre also differs widely based on geography, weather and genetics. This is very relevant for a fibre such as wool. Agricultural policies have mainly focused on food, and large-scale industry has embraced synthetic, oil-based materials; leaving most wool in Europe as an un-tapped resource, and thus creating a waste-problem. Through marketing-pushes focusing on certain properties at the cost of ignoring others; certain classes or breeds of wool have been touted as "best" for more purposes than necessary. Wool's sound-absorbing abilities is neither tied to micron-count nor softness; therefore, we will explore what is known today about the potential for lower grade wools that are currently deemed as waste and their "good enough" suitability in sound-absorbing panels and other products identified through two on-going desk-top studies.

3. 3. A Woollen Route forward: Exporting knowledge rather than products.
Authors: Professor Jan Broda (Institute of Textile Engineering and Polymer Materials, Faculty of Materials, Civil and Environment Engineering, University of Bielsko-Biala), Assistant Professor Monika Rom (University of Bielsko-Biala), Assistant Professor Katarzyna Kobiela-Mendrek (University of Bielsko-Biala), Research Professor Ingun Grimstad Klepp (Consumption Research Norway/Oslo Metropolitan University), Editor Tone Skårdal Tobiasson (nicefashion.org), CEO Ingvild Svorkmoen Espelien (Selbu Spinning Mill).

A new project, WOOLUME, building on knowledge from KRUS, will be looking at wool from mountain
