The EU BioFibreLoop project will make the EU textile industry more sustainable with a focus on outdoor/active/workwear. Recyclable Textiles with bio-inspired functionalization will be produced from bio-based materials from renewable sources (lignin, cellulose, polylactic acid). The innovative biomimetic laser-based functionalization technology developed in the project will eliminate completely hazardous chemicals, and also will be enable an almost waste-free circular economy, giving fabrics and garments the intelligent functional properties: Hydrophobicity, oil repellency, self-cleaning and antibacterial activity. At the end of the project, a patented circular, sustainable and safe process for the production of recyclable functional textiles will be validated and demonstrated on a large scale.
