What does it take to turn citrus peel into textile fibres? It starts with isolating cellulose, but the method matters. Different processes affect purity, quality, and usability, making materials research key to advancing circular textiles. #HorizonEU #Sustainability 🧪

💡How powerful is Life Cycle Assessment in shaping sustainable innovation? Our expert from Quantis joined an inspiring LCA webinar organised by @fuelgae.bsky.social and shared how CELLFIL applies LCA to develop lyocell filaments from orange peel. 👉Watch here www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZhz...

✨Anubhuti Bhatnagar from Aalto University presented her recent work on Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) at the openLCA Conference.She explored social risks in textile recycling, showing why social factors matter alongside environmental and economic ones. #LCA #HorizonEU #WomenInSTEM

Orange peel isn’t just waste; it’s a versatile resource for 🍊dietary fibre & functional food ingredient 🍊essential oils & bioactive compounds 🍊biodegradable packaging & bioplastics 🍊cellulose & nanocellulose 🍊natural antioxidants & antimicrobials Do you know more? #HorizonEU #Sustainability 🧪

Measuring well-being needs more than economic indicators. @cellfilproject.bsky.social contributes by developing sustainable textile innovations, balancing environmental, social & economic dimensions. #SustainableDevelopment #EnvironmentalSustainability

🚀What happens when research meets industry? At Techtextil, researchers from Hochschule Niederrhein showcased textile samples, giving a hands-on look at CELLFIL’s innovation. A highlight? Connecting with Lenzing and @adidas to exchange insights. #HorizonEU #Sustainability @rtds-group.bsky.social

🧪 When oranges are processed for juice, what remains is a wet by‑product made of pulp, seeds, and peel. This peel is often treated as waste, yet it contains cellulose, a building block for textile fibres. #HorizonEU #Sustainability #Filaments

🧪Austria’s Lange Nacht der Forschung opens the doors to science for people of all ages. We were happy to put science communication into action by showing how oranges can be transformed into fibres and, ultimately, clothes 🍊👕 #SciComm #HorizonEU @rtds-group.bsky.social @Lenzing Group

🧪 Circular textiles work when fibres are designed for recycling from the start. Cellulose fibres offer potential for circular textile systems: cellulose is renewable, available, and can be engineered with recyclability in mind. That’s the focus of Cellfil EU project. #EUresearch #Sustainability

The first 2026 #HorizonEU Cluster 6 calls for proposals are closed! We’ve received 1132 proposals competing for €405.4M in EU funding to support the future of sustainability, food systems, and bioeconomy. See the number of submissions per destination: link.europa.eu/gjFynr #SciComm 🧪
