Biocolour from forest and ocean for an environmentally friendly textile industry

Purpose and goal

The aim is to evaluate the potential of developing the projects bio-dyes for industrial scale. The goal is to confirm the project´s hypothesis, that Alder Olmai and MOUNID´s innovative bio-based textile dyes meet the industry´s requirements and needs and can be developed further together with industrial partners.

Expected effects and result

The hypothes shall result in an evaluation of the potential of the project´s bio-dyes for the textile industry, which in the long run will lead to reduced use of fossil dyes and harmful chemicals. The new knowledge of the textile industry´s requirements will bring unique insights to be used as intangible assets in following projects, that will help us secure investments and scale up production and increase the added value in the Swedish bio-based sector.

Planned approach and implementation

Initial meetings with the project stakeholder´s and tests in their productions. Furthermore, carry out analysis and mapping through in-depth interviews and market data. The project works actively to engage stakeholders, identifying companies´ driving forces and sustainability goals. The project is to be spread through attending industry events, giving workshops and a final report submitted to Vinnova.
