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.

The deliverable includes an overview of the main standards applicable to EFFECTIVE’s bio-based materials and products, with a specific focus on the textile value chain. It addresses the main characteristics of each standard, its applicability potential to the project, and identifies gaps that can be covered by future standardization activities.

The report describes the replicability studies and trials performed in the project to pave the way for the future applications of the developed biobased monomers, polymers, and biomaterials into market sectors different from the ones primarily targeted by the project.

Explore the different types of circular business models, explained in New Cotton Project’s second white paper by Aalto University.

Aalto University presents a booklet outlining the New Cotton Project project, its milestones, and the overall experience of implementing a circular ecosystem within the reality of the European textile industry.

The Deliverable assesses potential social acceptance issues toward the future market uptake of the biobased product prototypes developed within the project.

Aalto University has produced the consortium’s first white paper, authored by Natalia Moreira, PhD and Kirsi Niinimaki, exploring the value of implementing the circular economy within the fashion industry.

This deliverable is the first step of the SCIRT project and aims to place the project’s objectives in the context of the global textile industry from different perspectives

This deliverable provides an overview of the environmental and social impacts generated by the SCIRT demonstrator products to be prototyped, in the current textile system.

This deliverable examines whether the six representative garment types defined for prototyping under WP3 are representative of the main technological, environmental and business challenges in the textiles system (i.e. fibre compositions, technical requirements like dismantling, use of chemicals, business models, waste treatment) and cover the key product segments in the apparel sector.
