Contributing to the development of a circular textile economy in Europe
CELLFIL is a Horizon Europe project aimed at transforming the European textile value chain by developing sustainable, bio-based Lyocell filaments. Made from biodegradable and circular raw materials such as wood, orange peel, textile waste, and other second-generation (2G) feedstocks, these filaments are designed to replace synthetic fibers addressing both the environmental and social impacts of the textile industry. The project will drive innovation across the value chain by defining business models and strategies for market adoption by 2030, ultimately contributing to the development of a circular textile economy in Europe.
