Bio-based does not automatically mean circular. A textile fiber can be made from renewable bio-resources and still end up as waste after a short use phase. True circularity depends on durability, reuse, repair, recycling, and responsible end-of-life management. #CircularTextiles #HorizonEU

🌱How can bio-based materials move from innovation to industrial adoption? Join us for the webinar "Biobased Materials in Industry" on 22 September 2026, and hear firsthand experiences from leading European projects and industry experts working to advance sustainable and circular material solutions. Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, industry professional, student, or sustainability advocate, this webinar offers a valuable opportunity to learn about the latest developments shaping the future of bio-based materials in Europe. The session will highlight examples of alternative renewable feedstocks, including materials derived from orange peels, algae, nettle, hemp, but also cotton cultivated in Europe #BioBasedMaterials #HorizonEU #Bioeconomy @TexMaTerproject @biolusheu @eucotton1 @OrangeFiber @kirsiniinimaki 👉 Read more cellfil.eu/event/webinar-bio… 👉 Register link.webropolsurveys.com/Par…

📢 We're excited to announce a new collaboration between @CELLFIL_EU and Bio-LUSH! While Bio-LUSH is unlocking high-quality cellulose fibres from biomass sources such as hemp, nettle, forest residues, and seagrasses, CELLFIL is transforming renewable and circular feedstocks, including cotton textile waste and orange peel residues, into high-performance lyocell filament textiles. Together, we represent complementary stages of a new, circular textile value chain! 👉 Read more cellfil.eu/cellfil-and-bio-l… #HorizonEU #SustainableTextiles

❗️The EU has introduced a new measure to reduce textile waste! From 19 July 2026, large companies can no longer destroy unsold clothes, clothing accessories and footwear. Under the new rules, businesses must prioritise options such as selling, donating, repairing or refurbishing products before disposal. Medium-sized companies will be required to comply from 2030👕 How do you think this new requirement will influence textile production, inventory management and circular business models across Europe? This measure is part of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), supporting more circular use of resources across the textile sector. 👉environment.ec.europa.eu/new… #Textiles #CircularEconomy #ESPR @RTDS_Group

🍊“I can’t imagine how you can make a T-shirt out of orange peel?!”👕 This quote from a recent consumer study done by researchers from @AaltoUniversity reveals something important about the future of sustainable textiles. While many consumers support environmentally friendly products, curiosity is often accompanied by uncertainty. How are bio-based textiles produced? Do they perform as well as conventional materials? Can they be trusted? Research shows that consumer acceptance depends on much more than sustainability claims alone. Product quality, affordability, transparency, and trust all play a crucial role in turning interest into adoption. Therefore, understanding these perceptions is essential for accelerating the transition to a more sustainable textile industry. 💬 If you heard about a T-shirt made from orange peel, would you be curious to try it? 🔗 Discover the key insights cellfil.eu/consumer-acceptan… #HorizonEU #sustainabletextiles @RTU_LV , @RTDS_Group , @adidas,

💡As Europe advances its circular economy ambitions, the demand for sustainable, bio-based alternatives is growing rapidly. Explore how EU policies are accelerating the transition towards greener textiles and how the CELLFIL project contributes to this transformation by developing high-performance cellulose filaments from renewable and waste-based resources using the Lyocell process. rtds-group.com/news/rethinki… @RTDS_Group #HorizonEU #SustainableTextiles

💡How powerful is Life Cycle Assessment in shaping sustainable innovation? CELLFIL’s sustainability expert, Anna Cissé from @Quantis_intl, joined an inspiring LCA webinar organised by the @FUELGAE_EU, bringing together researchers and innovators from across Europe. From advanced fuels and bio‑based construction materials to textiles, secondary aluminium and formaldehyde‑free wood panels, the discussion showed how versatile and essential LCA is in guiding the green transition. 👉 Watch here youtube.com/watch?v=CZhz4_DE… #LCA #HorizonEU #Sustainability @susboard_eu @RecAL_Project @biobuildEU @RTDS_Group

✨We are happy to highlight that Anubhuti Bhatnagar from @AaltoUniversity University presented her recent work on Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) at the @openLCA Conference 2026 in Berlin. The presentation explored social risks and impacts along textile recycling value chains, highlighting why social aspects matter just as much as environmental and economic ones when designing circular solutions. #LCA #Textiles

Measuring well-being needs more than economic indicators. @CELLFIL_EU contributes by developing sustainable textile innovations, balancing environmental, social & economic dimensions. #SustainableDevelopment #textiles

🚀What happens when research meets industry? At @ttx_tp in Germany, Kristina Klinkhammer and Madita Fischer from Hochschule Niederrhein showcased textile samples, giving visitors a hands-on look at CELLFIL’s  innovation. A highlight? Connecting with @LenzingGroup and Andreas Kamolz from @adidas to exchange insights. #Sustainability #BioBasedMaterials #Textiles @RTDS_Group

✨We were proud to see Selenay Elif İşler from MARTUR FOMPAK International representing CELLFIL at Techtextil 2026 in Germany, one of the world’s leading events for technical textiles.
