The aim of the project is “to systematically accelerate the biodegradation of non-recyclable textile waste by using enzyme cocktails directly, enabling efficient and complete breakdown as a part of end-of-life management of textile waste. By identifying and optimizing enzymes that target specific textile polymers, the project seeks to transform end-of-life of textile waste into non-toxic byproducts, significantly reducing landfill accumulation and minimizing environmental impact.

The outcomes of this project will benefit multiple stakeholders, including textile industries, waste management agencies, and environment”. It will provide a sustainable alternative to waste export from EU as well as landfilling and incineration, supporting the transition to a circular economy, and reduce the carbon footprint associated with textile waste. Additionally, it will contribute to global efforts in combating pollution and climate change, while fostering innovation in biotechnology and sustainable material management. Though various activities, project will fast track scalable, eco-friendly solution that addresses the urgent need for responsible end-of-life textile waste management.
