R+D

The ECO ACABADOS project is researching a range of ECO technologies to develop new clothing and interior decoration fabrics to demonstrate and evaluate the advantages offered by sustainable finishes.

The need to create more sustainable and environmentally friendly textiles for the home and fashion has encouraged AITEX to focus its research on R+D projects in these two markets.

Innovative technical textiles, developed from natural fibre for use in the home.

The CosTUmE project, in which AITEX participates, aims to create an attractive new qualification in the profile of garment technician with EU recognition.

The VESTLIFE project is a research project at a European level funded by the Preparatory Action in Defence Research of the European Union

The CIRCLE project focuses on the research of waste revaluation strategies of different Valencian industrial sectors to establish a circular economy model.

The core goal of ECO&TECNO CARPET II is to create functional rugs and carpets which use materials and processes to enhance the recyclability of the product and to undertake research into the revalorisation of the waste created at each stage of manufacture to lengthen its lifecycle and create an added-value factor.

AITEX defines its research projects in line with the European Strategic Agenda for Innovation and Research in the Textile and Clothing Industry, Horizon 2025.

AITEX participates in the 3rd meeting of the European project VESTLIFE (Ultralight modular bullet proof integral solution for dismounted soldier protection) in Bergamo (Italy).
