Achieving our Vision requires:
-
a bio-based raw material basis for plastics that is holistically sustainable
-
the application in the textile industry starting at biopolymer development to producing textiles
-
the overall societal transformation towards a bio-economy from a social and economic perspective

- May 19, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PMZoomWe invite all BIOTEXFUTURE members to join us for our third Member Day titled "Linking the bio-based textile value chain". The spring 2022 version is all about giving you the opportunity to connect to not only the BIOTEXFUTURE projects, but also other members of your choice. Join us and connect!
- May 18, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PMZoomJoin the 5th BIOTEXFUTURE Forum titled "Shaping the Future of the Bio-Based Textile Value Chain". You want to have a good grasp of the EU and German bioeconomy strategy, what impact they will have on the textile industry and how BIOTEXFUTURE is contributing its part? Then this is the event for you!
- Tue 05 Apr05TueAprDemonstrator Model Discussion (TransitionLab2)/ZoomApr 05, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM GMT+2ZoomThe Demonstrator Model Discussion (TransitionLab2) is a working session with contributors primarily within the project partners to collaborate on identified societal challenges above project boundaries. This is an internal event open only for the BIOTEXFUTURE projects.

The innovation space BIOTEXFUTURE consists of projects funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within the framework of the "Nationalen Forschungsstrategie BioÖkonomie 2030". BIOTEXFUTURE is part of the funding program "Innovationsräume Bioökonomie".

ALGAETEX
Algae-derived biopolymers for the application of textiles.

BIOBASE
Bio-based alternatives from available resources for textile applications with competitive costs and properties.

BIOCOAT
Development of bio-based textile finishes for high performance textiles.

BIOTURF
Develop an artificial turf structure made of bio-polyethylene (PE), which differs only little chemically from crude oil-based PE regarding key characteristics.

CO2TEX
The establishment of commercially viable elastic filament yarns made from CO2-containing TPU.

DEGRATEX
Develop biobased, degradable solutions for geotextiles in short term applications such as temporary earthen structures and vegetation protection.

GOLD
Analyse the Goldschlägerhaut mechanically, structurally, and genetically down to the molecular level.

POLYPFIBER
Realize a bio-based knitted antimicrobial demonstration textile.

TRANSITIONLAB1
Success factors and ELSI aspects of biotextile innovation for a societal transition to the bioeconomy.

TRANSITIONLAB2
Research, design and promote innovation and knowledge transfer, innovation culture, optimised framework conditions and aspects of technology acceptance and usability for an overall societal, bioeconomic transformation from the perspectives of the disciplines involved, considering ethical, social, communicative and legal aspects (ELSI).
