Speed up recycling

 

As part of its mission to speed up textiles and footwear recycling, Refashion innovates with three tools: the Innovation Challenge, the Refashion Recycle platform and the Recycling innovation working groups.

The 2021 Innovation Challenge

 

For the 2021 edition of its Innovation Challenge, Refashion partners with SoScience for its expertise in responsible open-innovation with its “The Future Of” program.

This new format devised to boost collaboration aims at fostering new solutions and addressing the recycling industrialization stakes of the Textile Industry.

The challenge :

How to produce environmentally performing materials from post-consumer non-reusable textiles and footwear that fit the market’s functional and economical needs ?

A dual mission :

1. To find and scale up innovative industrial and commercial solutions that optimise used household derived textile and footwear recycling

2. To accelerate the development of a more circular industry in synergy with other sectors (building, automobile, etc.)

The advantages of the Innovation Challenge with SoScience’s The Future Of methodology:

  • A call for projects that is multi-stakeholders and open to everyone (France and Europe, companies, social entrepreneurs, associations and non-governmental organizations, competitiveness clusters, etc.)
  • Funding for the Innovation Challenge of at least €500K per year, without shareholding requirements nor royaltie

  • A willingness to integrate Local Authorities and the entire Textile Sector’s ecosystem to co-create sustainable and local solutions

Focus on two high-potential segments: non-wovens for the automobile sector and composites for the sports and leisures sector. Steered by two experts, the working groups will define the virtuous processes and business models resulting in Sorting and Material Preparation experiments.

The importance of developing local large-scale industrial solutions for the recovery of non-reusable post-consumer textiles and footwear
