Innovative IT tools for a circular textile economy: driving sustainability and resource efficiency.

Project description

IT tools drive circular textile research in Poland

The textile industry is a major contributor to environmental pollution, with significant water consumption, CO2 emissions, and waste production. With this in mind, the EU-funded AIdesignTEX project aims to enhance the research profile of Łódź University of Technology (TUL) FMTTD in sustainable textile production. The project will leverage AI and machine learning tools to develop recyclable or biodegradable textiles. It promotes sustainable textile production through partnerships with other EU universities, thus aligning with the European Green Deal. Researchers will gain expertise in sustainable technology and share their knowledge with businesses and stakeholders in the Łódź region. This includes coordinating and supporting activities to disseminate knowledge within the institution to textile companies in Poland and interested entities in Asia.

Objective

The AIdesignTEX project aims to enhance the research profile of Łódź University of Technology (TUL) FMTTD in sustainable textile production by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to develop easily recyclable or biodegradable textiles. Through networking and partnership activities with EU counterparts, such as Stavanger University (UiS), Ghent University (GU), and the Catholic University of Avila (UCAV), TUL researchers seek to expand their knowledge of the circular economy principles and their application to textile production. The project aligns with the goals of the European Green Deal, which aims to promote a circular economy and reduce waste. The textile industry is a major contributor to environmental pollution, with large amounts of water consumption, CO2 emissions, and waste production. By implementing AI and ML tools, the project seeks to help textile producers adopt sustainable practices, save resources, and minimize environmental impact. During long-term visits and complementary activities with the advanced partners, TUL researchers will acquire expertise in sustainable technology, eco-design awareness, and administrative skills. Upon completion of the visits, TUL researchers will conduct training sessions for businesses and stakeholders in the Łódź region to share their newly acquired knowledge and skills. This knowledge dissemination will foster interest in cooperation and joint development of a Future Plan for sustainable textile production. Coordination and support activities will include lectures, workshops, and training sessions for experienced TUL researchers and ESRs to disseminate the gained knowledge and skills within the institution and beyond (Polish textile companies and interested entities from Asian countries).

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)
