Development of Technical Textiles from Recycled Fibres
Predilnica Litija d.o.o. successfully obtained co-financing under the European Union’s NextGenerationEU programme for the research and development project Development of Technical Textiles from Recycled Fibres.
Project purpose
The aim of the project is to expand sustainable practices into the field of technical textiles by developing blends made from recycled and bio-based fibres for the production of protective clothing.
The textiles developed within the project will not require additional finishing and dyeing processes, which usually place a significant environmental burden through polluted wastewater.
Project objectives
The purpose of the project is to support the transition to a circular economy by contributing to:
- Preservation of natural resources
- Reduction of harmful impacts caused by waste generation
- Lower global carbon footprint
- Reduced water consumption in fabric production
- Reduced use of dyes and chemicals
- Development of more sustainable technical textiles
- Creation of materials suitable for protective clothing
Financing
The project Development of Technical Textiles from Recycled Fibres is co-funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU and is part of the Recovery and Resilience Plan.
The project was awarded a subsidy under the public call Incentives for Research and Development Projects under the Recovery and Resilience Plan
