Join us tomorrow during the ECOSYSTEX Insights Series. Our own Jasmien Wynants will shortly discuss the challenges of a textile-to-textile recycling journey from a brand perspective. You'll get some insights from her journey together with fashion brand Xandres in the SCIRT Project the past years. ♻️ the ECOSYSTEX community unites over 30 EU funded projects working on textile sustainability. In Tomorrow’s webinar, you’ll meet: ▶ CISUTAC : Emma Enebog from RISE Research Institutes of Sweden -2035 future scenarios and the textile waste decision support tool ▶ CALIMERO HE Project: Eduardo Entrena Barbero from Contactica - how going beyond the Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment methodology ▶ SCIRT Project: Jasmien Wynants from MASJIEN/Xandres - challenges of a textile-to-textile recycling journey from a brand perspective ▶ Hemp4Circularity: Valentine Donck from Valbiom - first results of mechanically cultivated long fibre hemp in Europe Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about these 4 projects!

no I'm consistently surprised by how the traditional linear economy approach of the textile industry is being “bent into a circle”. A true circular economy is about innovation and requires high-quality materials at every step: from the fibers used in the first place, to the chemicals for processing, dyes, and even trims. However, we often overlook the importance of ecotoxicity. Also, it's crucial to have a plan for the products’ end of life. During the Performance Days exhibition in Munich last week, I was really encouraged to see that outdoor and sportswear brands are starting to recognize the importance of these issues and are actively seeking solutions. I was frequently asked whether our next-gen biodegradable polyester, naNea, is made without using antimony as a catalyst. The answer is yes! It is not only made without antimony; it's also designed to be biodegradable and easy to depolymerize. All while maintaining high performance and durability. This highly motivates me personally to continue pushing aggressively for more innovations in the time to come. #circulareconomy #cradletocradle #oceansafe #naNea #nextgeneration

Scent Emotions and HOPCP Technologies Develop a New Biodegradable Composite for Fragrance Integration. We are excited to announce that Scent Emotions, in collaboration with HOPCP Technologies, has developed an innovative composite material called ECO HOPCP SAP-L2, specifically designed for fragrance integration with high biodegradability. In accelerated disintegration tests conducted at the AIMPLAS · Instituto Tecnológico del Plástico under industrial conditions, ECO HOPCP SAP-L2 achieved 85% disintegration in just 30 days. This makes it a promising solution for industries seeking environmentally-friendly fragrance materials. This project is part of the Circular Economy Projects promoted by Agència de Residus de Catalunya, further reinforcing our commitment to sustainable innovation and creating products that align with a more environmentally responsible lifecycle. At Scent Emotions, we are proud to continue developing cutting-edge technologies that combine performance and sustainability in the field of fragrance materials.
