In Minnesota, Specialty Fabrics Review reported that the German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research Denkendorf (DITF) announced they are coordinating a research project called BioFibreLoop.
The project is funded as part of the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program. BioFibreLoop aims to develop recyclable outdoor and work clothing made from renewable bio-based materials.
The report added that the BioFibreLoop project uses laser technology to imitate natural structures to produce garments with water and oil-repellent, self-cleaning and antibacterial properties. The result of the research work will be affordable, resource and environmentally friendly, yet high-performance and durable fibers and textiles made from renewable sources such as lignin, cellulose and polylactic acid will be available, it added.
