CITEX closing conference - Circular Textile Innovations Sweden
Welcome to the CITEX closing conference at RISE in Stockholm on May 29th
CITEX - Circular Textile Innovations Sweden - is a project funded by BioInnovation, with the goal to contribute to a more sustainable textile industry. The CITEX sub-projects are being finalized and we want to share the results with you!
RISE and IVL are arranging the final conference where the sub-projects will be presented: Chemical Recycling of Regenerated cellulose fibers (MMCF), Innovative fiber blends and yarn spinning techniques and Mechanical textile recycling – Roadmap for Swedish processing capacity.

Research Results from CITEX
Chemical recycling of man-made fibers (MMCF), project leader Tahani Kaldéus, The Loop Factory with project partners
Innovative fibre mixes and yarn spinning techniques, project leader Anna Hammarstedt, IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute with project partners
Mechanical textile recycling in Sweden – environmental and economic condition, project leader, Johan Strandberg, IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute with project partners
Dialogue and discussion - Which barriers & challenges, as well as prospects have been identified for both chemical and mechanical recycling in Sweden? And what are the prerequisites and possibilities for innovative fibres? What should be the research focus going forward?
Insights and perspectives on policy and actions for the future bioeconomic textile industry
Ulrika Simonsson, TEKO, Lisa Schwarz Bour, RISE, Helena Claesson, Södra, Marcus Hartmann, H&M
Dialogue and discussion – New challenges arise from the European Union, what actions does the industry need to take and what developments are needed in Sweden to strengthen the textile industry when it comes to recycling and increasing the use of bio-based and recycled fibres?
