CISUTAC’s Circular Transition Scenarios & Software for Post-Consumer Textile Waste Channelling
As part of the CISUTAC project, RISE and Centexbel (with the support of other partners) released a comprehensive report titled "Circular Transition Scenarios & Software for Post-Consumer Textile Waste Channelling" that serves as a guiding compass, offering insights into various pathways for Europe's textile industry to achieve a circular future.
IRISS’s Update 1: Analysis of lifecycle steps, the value chains, their stakeholders and initiatives
This updated document analyses lifecycle steps, value chains, stakeholders, and initiatives, with a focused examination of the smart textiles sub-value chain within the broader textiles industry. It explores challenges and opportunities in advancing safe-and-sustainable-by-design (SSbD) practices for smart textiles.
IRISS’s Analysis of the value chains, their stakeholders and initiatives
This document provides an analysis of value chains, their stakeholders, and initiatives to support the EU’s transition to a climate-neutral and circular economy through safe-and-sustainable-by-design (SSbD) materials and products. As part of the IRISS project, it highlights challenges and opportunities in industries like textiles.
IRISS’s Skills, knowledge and education needs and gaps and mismatches for the uptake of SSbD
This document explores the skills, knowledge, and education gaps hindering the adoption of safe-and-sustainable-by-design (SSbD) principles across various value chains, including textiles. It aims to map training and knowledge needs, identifying mismatches and opportunities to enhance SSbD capacity building for industry stakeholders.
IRISS’s Design for circular economy
This report provides a comprehensive bibliographical study on circular economy and ecodesign, analysing the 9S strategy across various sectors with examples of its application to specific products and value chains, including the textile value chain.
SCIRT’s Sample of yarn at industrial scale
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.
RegioGreenTex’s Regional Hub Ecosystem Investment strategy
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.
PROPLANET Deliverable D6.6 [M12]: Health and safety conditions for enhanced safe and sustainable coatings supporting the planet
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.
RegioGreenTex’s Taxonomy
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.
PROPLANET’s intial integration into standardisation process and roadmap for full standardisation
PROPLANET aims to standardise its activities through this roadmap, developed by RUKA with expert support from NILU and input to CEN and OECD.
SUSTRACK’s report presenting scenarios and related policy packages
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.
PROPLANET Deliverable D7.14: Report on replicability cases of enhanced safe and sustainable coatings for supporting the planet
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.
CALIMERO Theory of change and system incentives & penalties analysis
Calimero's Theory of Change identifies four pathways towards a sustainable future in the bio-based industry.
RegioGreenTex’s Digital Tool
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.
RegioGreenTex SME Advisory Service Strategy
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.
Connecting Threads: Assessing Digital Solutions and Needs for Circular Textiles – White paper by the T-REX Project
T-REX Project’s first white paper offers an assessment of key gaps and opportunities for implementation of digital solutions in the value chain.
SUSTRACK’s description of the validation methodology
This report presents the SUSTRACK results on the validation of the monitoring and assessment framework and guidelines for the implementation of the case studies work.
HEREWEAR’s Guidelines (Whitepaper) for ‘Bio-based Circular Textile Manufacturing’, with Manufacturing Manual and Glossary
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.
MY-FI Public Summary of the main project results and achievements
The public summary is a public deliverable made by the Consortium to briefly explain the project and its main focuses. It is divided into different section based on the various steps of process: biofabrication, post processing and scale up. It also covers the prototyping activities, the sustainability and market exploitation aspects.
SUSTRACK’s review of approaches and identification of research gaps
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).
