At BioFashionTech, our mission is to transform textile waste into biobased building blocks and regenerative materials using biotechnology. SORTED provides a unique opportunity to scale this mission within a systemic, multi-partner collaboration.

Over the next four years, we will collaborate closely with an incredible consortium of partners driving innovation across sorting, recycling, circular design, and bio-based technologies:

Stichting Sympany | Demcon industrial systems | CELLiCON | CiorC (for climate neutral and advanced recycling polymers) | CuRe Technology – Polyester Rejuvenation | Recell® Ecoras Textile4Ever | BioFashionTech | University of Groningen | Hanzehogeschool | DCTerra | Greenwise Campus | Gemeente Groningen | Gemeente Emmen | Code for Good | MUD Jeans | Samenwerkingsverband Noord-Nederland (SNN) | Provincie Drenthe | Provincie Groningen | Gemeente Assen

Projects like SORTED accelerate the transition from a linear system to one where materials circulate, regenerate and retain value. We’re proud to help shape this future.
