TEX4GREEN is a Horizon Europe project that develops bio-based alternatives to hazardous textile chemicals. Through the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) approach, the project supports the transition to safer, more circular and sustainable textile products, validated in real-world industrial applications.

SAFEADD focuses on the development of bio-based, safe and sustainable additives for plastics and textiles. Across all developments, sustainability, safety and performance are central. 

Macroalgae could become a major sustainable resource for the bio‑based economy — but Europe still relies heavily on harvesting wild stocks. Demand is rising, quality must be consistent, and new cultivation solutions are urgently needed.

The rising demand for raw materials is pushing society towards the limits of our planet. As resources become scarcer and more expensive, the transition to sustainable systems and products is no longer optional but essential. 

Development of enzymatically degradable and recyclable PU dispersions (PUD) and PU coatings. These innovative coatings enhance the recyclability of coated substrates, simplifying waste management and significantly reducing environmental burdens.
