Purpose and goal
The objective to develop a guideline, the Recycling Key (ÅN), which the textile industry can integrate into its product development processes to close the material cycles and contribute to a circular economy. By collaborating with representatives in the entire production chain together with claimants, we can build an interdisciplinary understanding.
Expected results and effects
The project is expected to contribute to routines for how purchasing requirements are ensured linked to recycled material so that the industry can guarantee the function and customer value of the end user. In the long term, we contribute to the textile industry contributing to meeting Agenda 2030 for the global market.
Planned approach and implementation
Project management through pulse meetings. Benchmarking, mapping and cataloging of existing design tools and methods, as well as regulations linked to circular product development. Value mapping of existing technologies and their properties. Joint workshops to identify why existing support systems are not used and identify purchasing criteria as well as workshops with purchasers and product developers using textile materials. Dissemination of results through publications and activity on social media.
