Innovate UK have launched a new £4 million funding opportunity for UK businesses to support a landmark demonstration project that addresses the UK fashion and textile industry’s recycling and sorting challenges.
The aim of this competition is to fund a research and development activity demonstrator. This will demonstrate new technologies, services, processes and business models capable of addressing the recycling and sorting challenges, as part of the UK’s fashion and textile sector and their direct supply chains.
Your project must focus on mixed fabrics and applications are encouraged to focus on one or more of the following materials:
- wool
- cotton
- polyester
The competition closes at 11am on 11 January 2023.
