PDF training material from the PLASTICE project demonstrating the scale-up of the enzymatic hydrolysis process for mixed cotton/polyester textile waste, from lab to pilot scale. It covers the full demonstration chain: textile sorting, shredding and alkaline pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, polyester recovery, and yarn/fabric production to close the fibre-to-fibre recycling loop.

Training material from the PLASTICE project explaining how enzymatic hydrolysis can separate cotton from polyester in mixed textile waste, enabling recovery and recycling of both components. It covers the technological process from fabric pretreatment to recovery of polyester and sugars, developed within a pilot plant for cotton/polyester textile blend recycling.

IMASUS conducted two international surveys and a follow-up analysis to better understand the current needs, gaps, and opportunities in sustainable and innovative textile materials.
The goal was simple: to listen to the people shaping the future of textiles with researchers, educators, designers, entrepreneurs, and creative hubs involved and using their input to guide the development of the IMASUS open knowledge platform.

The PROPLANET Replication Tool is an open‑source web application designed to help users explore PFAS‑free coating technologies for glass, metal, and textiles, offering an accessible way to compare formulation components, assess performance, and evaluate environmental and safety profiles.

On 15 January 2026, a thematic online seminar on Green Procurement – medical textiles and sterilization brought together professionals and experts to explore how sustainability and circularity can be effectively integrated into public procurement practices. Organised within the InterregEurope CEMTex framework, the webinar focused on practical approaches and real-world insights from the field of circular and medical textiles.

This draft report provides an analysis of textile EPR systems across eleven countries,offering a comparison of regulatory approaches, implementation challenges, and emerging best practices. If you have any comments or feedback regarding this report, please don't hesitate to reach out to the TRUSTex project coordinator Ghaya Rziga from Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology.

This first PESCO-UP policy brief aims to contribute timely evidence to the ongoing debate on traceability and transparency in the textiles sector. This comes at a critical moment when the Delegated Act for Textiles under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) is still under preparation.

VERDEinMED’s Knowledge Platform brings together cutting-edge medical insights, expert resources, and practical tools to empower healthcare professionals and researchers worldwide.

This consolidated deliverable brings together six literature reviews—three grey literature reviews and three systematic literature reviews. The evidence examines the socioeconomic impacts and third-country externalities associated with global textile circularity systems, with a focus on African textile reuse flows, post-consumer circularity in the EU, and sustainability transitions within global value chains.

PDF deliverable from the PLASTICE project (WP5) reporting on the chemical recycling of cotton/polyester textiles via enzymatic hydrolysis. It covers NIR-based sorting of textile waste, lab-scale optimisation of the enzymatic process, the pilot-scale demo, and the spinning and knitting of recovered polyester into new fabrics, closing the fibre-to-fibre recycling loop.

PDF deliverable from the PLASTICE project (D7.1) providing ecodesign guidelines for two material streams: cosmetics plastic packaging and textiles. The textile section covers EU regulations and Ecolabel criteria, ecodesign guidelines for synthetic fabric production from recycled PET, compliance evaluation of project partners SUN TEKSTIL and KORTEKS, and a recyclability assessment framework for textiles.

This brochure summarizes pilot results, highlighting progress, impact, and scale-up opportunities, while guiding companies and regions toward collaboration and market adoption.

As part of the RegioGreenTex project, the Textile Circularity Guide outlines how textile waste can be turned into resources through circular business models, digital tools, and collaboration. It provides practical strategies, business development tools, digital solutions, and showcases successful European collaborations.

The EU TCLF Skills Strategy sets a shared direction for developing the skills that the sector needs to thrive in the green and digital transitions. It identifies key gaps, proposes coordinated actions for industry and education, and aims to ensure that companies can access the talent they require while workers benefit from new opportunities.

This deliverable is a practical guide to driving circular transformation across the textile value chain, providing tools and frameworks for companies, associations, and policymakers to scale sustainable practices effectively.

Video explaining the sorting solutions developed for textiles waste within REDOL.

The guide explores how the textile industry can overcome the critical bottleneck of insufficient data accessibility, laying out practical steps for brands, recyclers, and other stakeholders in the value chain to prepare for the forthcoming Digital Product Passport under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation.

This document focuses on the developments and activities carried out as part of Work Package 3 “Upgrading the management of solid urban waste streams” of REDOL project, in the period of M09 to M32. The main objective of this work was to achieve the improvement of different waste flows in REDOL value chains by designing and developing various technical and digital solutions. The targeted value chains are plastics, packaging, Construction & Demolition Waste (CDW), textiles and waste of electric and electronic equipment (WEEE). Based on that, five different technologies were developed for all the different value chains.

The main objective of this deliverable is to design and test, under controlled conditions, a set of innovative recycling and valorisation prototypes for different streams of Solid Urban Waste (SUW), aiming at its inclusion in circular and symbiotic value chains. These prototypes are tailored to the specific characteristics of each waste type.
