BIOTEXFUTURE is an innovation space funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF) on biobased textile research. The project is led by the adidas AG and RWTH Aachen University.

We work together with industry and research partners. Our vision is to transform the textile value chain from petroleum-based to bio-based textiles and to bring about this change together.

With the Bioeconomy Innovation Spaces funding concept, the BMBF intends to support bioeconomy research and thus drive the transformation to a sustainable, biobased economy.

BIOTEXFUTURE and the „EU Textile Strategy 2030 –
How we support the change“

The textile industry is facing great challenges: according to the European Union, by 2030, a fundamental change in the textile industry is to be completed: “Fast Fashion will be out of Fashion” is the clear message to the industry.

For the textile sector, this means a fundamental shift away from the previous linear into circular production and consumption patterns, as well as a ban of hazardous chemicals in textile manufacturing, finishing or dyeing processes.

The BIOTEXFUTURE innovation space is able to offer potential bio-based approaches for the textile industry to address theses challenges.

Please join us in the “Heart of Europe” and discuss the first BIOTEXFUTURE research results!
