This deliverable goes into details about the objectives of thread spinning for the demo brands and presents the results of the trials of spinning using fibre from recycled textiles.

This deliverable is a plan on how to make an investment strategy for the five RegioGreenTex Regional Hubs ecosystems that also can serve as a blueprint for other regions.

Deliverable D6.6 Health & safety conditions of PROPLANET addresses considerations related to the human health and safety of the coatings developed within the project. It is connected to task T6.5 Health and Safety Issues, which aims at avoiding exploitation problems of the products in terms of their safety, also in view of the standard regulations.

This deliverable report describes the work performed in RegioGreenTex, which aims to create a shared understanding among the consortium members about the recycling model applied to textiles, more in general related to fibres/materials, and the overall textile sector.

The aim of this report is twofold: (i) to identify and describe policy goals that are essential for the transformation to a circular biobased economy (CBBE), and (ii) to develop policy portfolio scenarios for the four focus sectors of the project, namely construction, chemicals, plastics and textiles.

This PROPLANET report outlines the progress of Task 7.5 – Replication Cases (IDE), focusing on developments achieved during the first 12 months of the project. It begins with a detailed overview of the research lines pursued within the PROPLANET initiative. The report then describes the development of the PROPLANET Replication Tool and how end-users will interact with it. Additionally, it presents an initial selection of replication cases to be explored further by Month 36 (Deliverable D7.15). Each selected case includes a comprehensive review of the current state-of-the-art, along with an analysis of the main global production hubs relevant to each specific technology.

The RegioGreenTex tool serves as the digital place to capture the needs and challenges from the different SMEs and match them to relevant SME partners, coaches, experts, courses and more across regions. This digital tool, and all content created within the different Work Packages in the project and shared via the Tool, are made available, for free and exclusively, to all the consortium members for the full duration of the project.

This report aims to highlight the complementary activities of RegioGreenTex to design the “SME Advisory Services Strategy”. The various pilots incorporated within the RegioGreenTex initiative have been selected for their elevated degree of circularity, innovativeness, and sustainability, as well as for the significant influence they could generate, not only on the company's business strategy, but also for their scalability in the local, national and international ecosystems.

T-REX Project’s first white paper offers an assessment of key gaps and opportunities for implementation of digital solutions in the value chain.

This white paper serves as a vital resource for stakeholders in the textile industry, offering a comprehensive roadmap towards establishing capacities for bio-based circular textile manufacturing.

This report presents the results of a review of existing knowledge for monitoring and evaluating the transition to circular biobased systems. More than 130 research items, including scientific articles and reports, were consulted to identify major gaps across indicators and approaches generally used to monitor and evaluate the bioeconomy across the three major policy-level analyses: micro-level (products/processes/companies), meso-level (city/regions) and macro-level (World, Europe or countries).

The primary purpose of this paper is to provide more detailed information on the workplan of the Regional hub ecosystems to RegioGreenTex partners and the representatives of the EU I3 Programme. Additionally, it aims to inform potential stakeholders within the different hub ecosystems about strategy, roadmap and related initiatives. Moreover, this paper serves as an initial invitation to stakeholders such as companies, researchers, NGOs and policymakers to join and contribute to the development of these ecosystems. As such it also intends to directly support the investment plans of the SMEs within RegioGreenTex.

In July 2023, as a results of two months of collaboration between the researchers, industry experts and other stakeholders involved in the project members, the ECOSYSTEX Community is publishing their first Input Paper identifying the most pressing and impactful research gaps and needs to be filled to enable the green transition of the European textile ecosystem.

This Deliverable is linked to Task 7.1. “Market Analysis and Circular Business Planning” running throughout the PROPLANET project, under the work package related to the “Exploitation, Dissemination, Communication and Social Engagement”. Under this deliverable a comprehensive market analysis was conducted to gain insights into the primary market landscape, examine specific sectors, and analyse competitors, and assess the project's strengths and weaknesses.

This white paper presents the results and insights of the first 24 months of the project, using the examples as platforms for transforming the industry and enabling an easier transition towards circularity.

This report presents SUSTRACK results on the environmental, economic, social and cultural limitations of the linear, fossil-based economy, as well as barriers and potential improvements associated with transitioning to a circular bio-based economy (CBBE).

TU Wien focuses on removing elastane from textiles containing this polymer. In order to perform tests on separate elastane from textiles, procurement of pure elastane was necessary. The supply of pure elastane in weaved or yarn form from project partners or external industrial partners was not feasible. Therefore, TU Wien produced pure elastane via enzymatic hydrolysis of a viscose/elastane textile.

The objective of this deliverable is to explore possible alternatives for commonly used primary materials, with a focus on local production (EU based), circularity (compatible with the recycled fibre), low impact (environmental performance) and availability and possibilities to scale (economic potential).

This deliverable aims to provide an inspiring vision document on circular fashion and a transition roadmap on how this vision can be achieved, resulting from work performed in the project. This report serves as input to policy recommendations that will be further elaborated at a later stage in the project.

This deliverable presents the preliminary version of the policy input brief of the HEREWEAR project. The content contains the findings and lessons learned from HEREWEAR regarding how to make the transition from the current textile sector to a textile sector that fully embraces the circular concept, uses bio-based materials and relies on the latest digital tools for efficient small-scale and local manufacturing in the EU.
