Motivation

The project addresses the need to transform textile finishing processes into more sustainable and efficient models by reducing the high consumption of water, energy, and chemicals, as well as the presence of emerging contaminants that are difficult to treat. To advance this transition, the valorization of textile and agro‑industrial waste to obtain alternative dyes is considered a priority, reducing dependence on synthetic compounds. It is also essential to optimize processes through low‑impact technologies that reduce chemical load and effluent generation, incorporate advanced hygienization systems that maintain microbiological efficacy while using fewer biocides, and decrease emerging contaminants by replacing synthetic auxiliaries with bio‑based alternatives and more efficient processes.
