Challenge and opportunity of developing a lignin supply chain
The second consortium meeting of BioFibreLoop took place in June 2025 in Tampere, Helsinki, marking a milestone in the project’s first year. BioFibreLoop’s partners came together to share progress, including a major technical achievement: the German Institutes for Textile and Fibre Research (DITF) successfully spun fibres from lignin, blended with cellulose. This breakthrough, however, came […]
First coatings and textile patterns made from renewable and recyclable materials
The BioFibreLoop project aims to produce functional textiles from renewable and recyclable raw materials (lignin, cellulose and polylactide (PLA)). To protect these textiles from liquids, gases, UV light and bacteria, a thin coating of lignin is applied to the textile surface. The project is also developing a new, very environmentally friendly surface treatment to give […]
Start of new Horizon Europe project BioFibreLoop
We are happy to announce the start of BioFibreLoop, an innovation action project funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme with the aim to develop recyclable outdoor, active and workwear made from renewable bio-based materials with biomimetic functionalities to pave the way for circular and sustainable textile industry. The textile industry […]
