The project "Circularity of plastics and textiles in the healthcare sector" aims to map and analyze product flows in the Danish hospital sector, with the objective of proposing initiatives across the value chains for minimizing CO₂ emissions.

The project develops new approaches for reuse and recycling of mattresses, according to the quality and recyclability of the mattresses and based on intensive stakeholder insights. 

Regulation for Promotion of CE is identified as a common challenge by the roadmap and so is the profound lack of knowledge on fiber performance; there is currently no coupling of biodiversity aspects and very little data on the actual performance of fibers in the use phase/when discarded.

The goal of this project is to design a system that is capable of efficient sorting of plastic and textiles with different degrees of contamination. The system will hence allow plastic and textiles on the same sorting line.

Change4Circularity (C4C) will collect and utilize the hitherto most comprehensive data set on plastic pollution, household sorting and management of plastics and textiles waste in Denmark. This is done in the large-scale citizen science project Mass experiment, which will engage 30.000-50.000 school students throughout the Danish realm.

Design for multiple use of textile products in public and private partnerships (Design2.Use) aims to develop
and test new circular textile solutions in the furniture industry focused on design for multiple use.

Back2Back aims to provide the missing link in the circular economy for durable B2B textile, plastic, and electronic products by developing a systemic take-back system and a digital decision support tool. The project facilitates efficient reverse logistics and processing of End-of-Use products across industries to enable reuse, recycling, and circular value creation.
