The RGT Hubs' prime functions and ongoing actions reveals a focus on creating circular textile value chains, attracting and de-risking investments, offering SMEs access to infrastructure, and fostering a community of cross-fertilization for SMEs. The recommendation is for all hubs to continue and learn from successful actions, especially focusing on functionalities not yet implemented. Special attention is advised for actions related to attracting individual (SME) investments and enhancing competences in management and operations.

The findings in this report showcase the outcomes of a comprehensive stakeholder consultation with the objectives of identifying and confirming the challenges that impede progress towards a sustainable circular bio-based economy. These barriers encompass various areas such as environmental, economic, and social sustainability, along with technical, structural, and cultural challenges.

CISUSTAC’s open-sourced tool revolutionises the way we approach post-consumer textile waste by prioritising data points for efficient sorting to reuse, and recycling. The tool empowers the textile ecosystem to make informed decisions, driving a digital change in line with the upcoming digital product passport legislation, and enable a more accurate feedstock for the recycling industry and unlock potential for the reuse market

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PROPLANET aims to standardise its activities through this roadmap, developed by RUKA with expert support from NILU and input to CEN and OECD.

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.

Calimero's Theory of Change identifies four pathways towards a sustainable future in the bio-based industry.

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 report presents the SUSTRACK results on the validation of the monitoring and assessment framework and guidelines for the implementation of the case studies work.
