| Abstract |
The RESYNTEX project aims at designing, developing and demonstrating a new industrial symbiosis between textile waste and the chemical industry. The new original symbiosis is based on the chemical/enzymatic transformation of textile waste in a form that facilitates the easy take up as feedstock by the chemical industry in order to produce high added value chemicals. The parallel production of various high added value products ensures competitive production costs for the chemical market. As a result, economic advantages can be provided besides prevention of industrial environmental problems. The project will consider and demonstrate the whole value chain starting from the citizen behaviour change and the textile collection of unwearable textiles, improving and automatizing the industrial sorting, demonstrating the production of the transformed textile components and the symbiosis with the obtained chemical products and finally analysing the best economic models and policy actions for a successful introduction in EU markets. |
