Budget: €1,085,281 – Funding sources: ANR & France 2030

The program aims to accelerate technological innovation across the entire value chain by promoting a circular economy, fostering industrial deployment, and offering targeted training to improve employability in the textile sector.
This project focuses on several key aspects:
– End-of-life loops for textiles: exploring and optimizing the various options for the end of life of textile products.
– Eco-design: designing environmentally friendly textiles.
– Analysis of discarded textiles: understanding and analyzing discarded textile materials.
– Design of sustainable textile products: developing sustainable, high-quality textile products.
The work will be conducted on three levels:
1- Molecular scale: analysis of the polymers that make up the fibers.
2- Fabric scale: study of the properties and durability of textile fabrics.
3- Product scale: design and optimization of clothing and other textile products.
Project partners:
ENSAIT, University of Lille, ENSAD

Budget: €2,008,300 – Programs: France 2030, 3R Innovative solutions to improve recyclability

The project focuses on replacing virgin synthetic materials with recycled materials, such as rPVB and fibers derived from workwear. The main objective is to reinforce a non-woven textile by replacing synthetic latex (XSB) with a recycled thermoplastic (rPVB) and to use workwear waste to create a weed-resistant outer coating
Project objectives:
– Development of a recycled thermoplastic binder: replace virgin thermosetting binder with a low-carbon recycled thermoplastic binder.
– Creation of an outdoor flooring system: manufacturing a weed-resistant flooring system from 100% recycled materials.
Project partners:
This project is led by SOMMER NEEDLEPUNCH.

Initiatives: France 2030 & Territoire d’industrie

EuraMaterials is collaborating with the MEL and the Pévèle Carembault Community of Municipalities as part of the “Territoire d’industrie” project. This certified project is based on three major strategic priorities:
1- Supporting industries in transitioning to a sustainable economy
– Supporting the development of fiber processing and recycling industries,
– Helping the interior design and fit-out industries adopt more sustainable and circular practices.
2- Relocation and development of manufacturing activities
– Structuring an offering that enables distribution companies to relocate production activities,
– Promoting the development of local activities in certain segments of their product range.
3- Creation of an ambitious innovation ecosystem
– Strengthen the link between the needs of regional industry and the metropolitan area’s capabilities in research, training, and technology transfer.
Project leadership
The “Territoire d’industrie – Scot Lille Métropole”project will be led by:
– Bernard Haesebroeck, Vice President in charge of economic development at the MEL.
– Arnaud Hottin, Vice President in charge of economic development for the Pévèle Carembault Community of Municipalities.
– Gregory Marchant, CEO of Union Textile Tourcoing and IMATTEC, and Vice President of the European consortium EURATEX.

Budget:€5,376,086 – Funding program: France 2030 Bio-based and Biotech

Valorization of oilseed flax by-products:
This innovative project aims to transform by-products from oilseed flax cultivation into an artificial cellulosic fiber with a low environmental impact.
Project objectives
– Establish the technical, economic, and environmental benefits of producing artificial cellulosic fibers from recycled biomass.
– Offer a sustainable alternative to existing processes, such as viscose or Lyocell, by using methods that are more resource-efficient.
Project partners:
Linéa Semences de lin, CETI, Decathlon, Unilasalle, Bretagne Pack
Market targets:
The OzoCell project primarily targets the sports and food transport markets, offering the textile industry innovative and environmentally friendly solutions.

Budget: €1,250,000 – Program: France 2030 Innovation HDF

This project aims to industrialize an innovative process, a revolutionary technique that enables the mechanism of formation of certain natural rocks to be reproduced at an accelerated rate and at low temperatures.
Project objectives
– Deploy this innovative process on a large scale;
– Reproduce the natural conditions of rock formation at low temperatures.
Target markets:
– Construction: sustainable buildingmaterials ,
– Recycling: conversion of waste into useful materials,
– Aerospace: lightweight and high-strengthcomponents ,
– Medical: biocompatiblematerials for medical applications.

Budget:€3,164,148 – Funding program: France 2030 3R

This project aims to develop an innovative recycling technology capable of processing multicolored, mixed-fiber used textiles, which are currently incinerated or landfilled.
Project objectives
– Validation of the Refact technology at the pilot scale: testing and validating the innovative recycling process.
– Production of recyclable material: produce enough recycled fibers to integrate them into the conventional textile processing chain and create a prototype garment.
– Effluent management: producing enough effluent to work on establishing closed loops, extracting co-products and exploring their potential uses, and treating the effluent.
Parallel innovations:
– Development of an alternative bleaching method: in collaboration with GEMTEX, this method aims to further reduce the environmental impact of the recycling process.
