Research

With this project, we aim to develop methods that are suitable for textile materials and can be tracked all the way to CO₂ production. It also aims to provide a better understanding of the various parameters that influence biodegradability.

Developing safe and sustainable textile water-repellent solutions that are superior to currently commercially available 'PFAS-free/fluorine-free' solutions.

FONT will create a flame retardant that is both safer and more environmentally sustainable for application within the textile sector.

Bio-Based alternatives for an effective transition to sustainable, reusable and recyclable construction products 

The INTERREG FWVL RE-APS project focuses on the development of thermomechanical recycling of polyester textiles, i.e. pre-treatment, shredding and melting of polyester textile waste and reuse of the resulting granules in the textile industry.
