CircularTex

SEWBOT

Local sewing of cloth, which can be cost-effective with sew-robots, can eliminate large quantities of excess production due to a fast response to market demands with a short supply chain. In Denmark, 677 tons of unused cloth are yearly burned due to excess production. It produces 45.000 tons of CO2. Reshoring textiles manufacturing back to Denmark through automation is estimated to create 1000+ jobs alone, and exports of know-how and technological solutions will be a valuable asset for DK.

Participating partners: Aalborg University, Lifestyle & Design Cluster, Royal Danish Adacemy, NewRetex, Aarhus Municipality, Koege Municipality, Copenhagen Airports (CPH), Kentaur, ELDAN RECYCLING A/S, "AffaldPlus ", Spot-wear, Textile Change and Bornholms Affaldsbehandling (BOFA)

Other Textile Projects

MCC FASHION: Mass Customization for Circularity

In the past 15 years the use phase of garments is decreased by 36% and the clothing production is app. doubled btw. 2000-2015. An estimated one-third of imported garments to Europe is never sold. 

CircularTex

The purpose of CircularTex is to develop and test new textile solutions and value propositions for markets that will lead to a slowing of textile resource loops.

Blockchain, IoT and Resale 3

A scaling of fashion resale requires traceability of individual garments and technology for locating and disseminating one-offs on the secondary market, as well as a deeper understanding of value creation and market mechanisms.

One Textile Direction

The purpose of One Textile Direction is to establish a new state-of-the-art for circular design, procurement, use, and reuse of textiles for the private household, public, and private professional sectors.
