This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020

research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 646226.

Drivers:

• The European Community is limiting the quantity of organic

material that can be sent to landfill through legislation,

reinforcing the need to address the huge challenge of textile

waste.

• The textile industry is the 5th largest contributor to CO2

emissions in Europe and USA1

• 3.5 years project, 18 partners from 10 countries

→ even bigger team

→ closing the loop1Energy Information Administration, Form EIA:848, “2002 Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey” Form EIA:810, “Monthly Refinery Report” (for 2002) and Documentation for Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States 2003 (May 2005) http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/aer/txt/ptb1204.html).

• To achieve materials

innovation by involving the

entire supply chain in

collaboration – not just

science, design or

manufacturing in isolation

• To design for recycling –

with an emphasis on new

products becoming a future

material source themselves

when discarded
