WHO CAN PARTICIPATE
CHALLENGES TO SOLVE
Process Innovations
Technological process innovations which allow important benefits in terms of CO2 reduction, water use, energy or gas consumption, consumables and operating costs.
- Dyeing of non-woven fabrics
(for example with non-water technologies or using dyes with a lower environmental impact); - Separation and recovery of process chemicals and solvents from aqueous mixtures at different concentrations;
- Drying of semi-finished non-woven fabrics in various production phases.
Raw materials Innovations
Raw materials or chemicals for production processes of non-woven fabrics which are:
- either substitutes and therefore comparable in terms of properties but less carbon intensive;
- or produced in a sustainable way (e.g. by circular economy, by biological processes, etc.)
compared to standards.
End-of-life Innovations
Innovative solutions to reduce environmental impact related to the end-of-life of textile products
- recovery of end-of-life fabrics;
- re-use of end-of-life fabrics within the production process;
- transformation of end-of-life fabrics in materials which can be used by other industries.
Recovery of textile waste
Innovative tech or non-tech solutions for the recovery / reuse / valorisation of textile production waste, such as non-compliant fabrics and production scraps.
Energy supply Innovations
Innovative solutions for the renewable production of:
- Hot water over 90°C
- Steam
- Electric energy
- Fuels that can replace methane or reduce its use through blending (e.g. hydrogen)
