Project description
Water saving solution for textile industry
A vast amount of water is used in the textile industry. Water is used to clean raw materials and for different steps in the textile dyeing process. This industry is also a big producer of wastewater, which contains a range of chemicals and dyes. To reduce the use of freshwater in the industry, the EU-funded Waste2Fresh project will develop a closed-loop process for textile manufacturing factories in which wastewater is collected, recycled and used again. The project will integrate novel and innovative catalytic degradation approaches with highly selective separation and extraction techniques. The aim is near-zero discharge and a reduction of current use of freshwater resources. The project expects this system to result in significant environmental gains.
