Joint programme will develop recyclable synthetic fibres and textiles based on renewable and sustainable feedstocks up to prototype stage

The aim will be to develop materials that are easy to process and are closed-loop recyclable

Researchers from the University of Konstanz, RWTH Aachen University and the German Institutes of Textile and Fibre Research Denkendorf have launched a collaborative project aimed at further developing easily recyclable synthetic fibres and textiles.

With €1.4 million of funding from the Volkswagen Foundation’s ‘Circularity with recycled and biogenic resources’ initiative, the Textile Materials Designed for Circularity (teXirc) project, will explore new types of synthetic fibres and textiles based on sustainable raw materials that can be produced on an industrial scale.
