The main goal is to create a smart bandage that can monitor biological parameters in real-time to detect infections or slow wound healing. Additionally, it will contain a hydrogel with drugs that can be released when needed.

Novel generation of biobased and bioinspired sustainable smart technical textile materials to address current and future energy needs.

Next generation circular biobased flagship packaging: a catalyst for the green transition

In line with the European Green Pact, the RE-ASSIGN (REcycling plAStics deSIGN) cross-border project aims to support companies in the France-Wallonia-Vlaanderen Interreg zone in their transition to a circular economy through the development of plastic products incorporating recycled materials (Design from recycling) from post-consumer or pre-consumer flows.

Development of a sustainable alternative to traditional wind turbine blades

The R3PACK project will demonstrate solutions in design, material selection, reuse and recycling techniques of non-domestic packaging.

In NWE, Europe's most densely populated region, there are approximately 12,000 children with neurological disorders who face lifelong challenges, including severe mobility limitations. These children require personalised rehabilitation plans that address their specific needs and abilities.

Het DisT2Tex-project wil via slim ontmantelen, gecombineerd met diverse recyclageroutes, het percentage hoogwaardig gerecycleerd textielafval verhogen voor complexe textielstromen.

Development of an innovative process to detect and separate trim from post-consumer textiles

The ReCoTex project aims to boost the recycling rate of coloured synthetic textile waste, particularly waste that is currently not recycled into high-value fiber materials due to their colour and instead used as fuel.
