  • The textile industry faces significant challenges with an urgent need for sustainable practices and solutions.

    The EU-funded BioSusTex project aims to drive policy change and develop pioneering technologies and tools for a greener textile value chain.

    • Aligned with the Safe and Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) framework

  • Our goal is to advance sustainable innovation for cotton and cellulosic textiles, addressing recycling inefficiencies and harmful chemicals with cutting-edge technologies tailored to industry needs:

    Optimized Recycling

    Advanced processes for cellulosic fiber recycling into dope-dyed textiles.

    Sustainable Pre-Processing

    Effective removal of elastane, dyes and impurities from blended textiles without toxic byproducts.

    PFAS-Free coatings

    Bio-based, water-repellent solutions using innovative surfactant technology.

    Eco-Friendly Prints

    Removable, PVC-free, bio-based printing formulations.

  • The green transition also requires safety and sustainability assessments on a scientific basis. We will contribute to advancing the toolbox with:

    • Toxicity assessments - novel methods and predictive tools.

    • Smart Decision Support - software based on the Safe and Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) framework.

    • Comprehensive Data Hub - to drive systemic sustainable innovation across the textile value chain.
