Design, development and up-scaling of a sustainable production system for hemp textiles : an integrated quality systems approach.

Objective

Worldwide, there is a growing interest in hemp fibre for textile applications. It's in the economic and social interest of the EU to become self-supportive in that area. In the EU, there is no large-scale production of hemp yarns and fabrics, because of poor fibre quality and poor fibre homogeneity. Those aspects and the uncertainty of a constant supply of hemp fibre limit the interest of EUindustries. This project aims to solve these problems by providing decision support to primary producers, integrated quality control systems for raw and processed products, and dissemination of information to support the entire chain production systems with support tools for farmers, optimal processing methods, a prototype for integrated quality control, disseminated knowledge and high-value hemp textiles end products.
