RegioGreenTex Digital Tool

Developed by: Ariadne Innovation (Ellie.Connect) 

The RegioGreenTex Digital Tool is designed to connect stakeholders in the textile industry, facilitating matchmaking, knowledge exchange, and collaboration between partners across different regions. While the ecosystem functionalities are exclusively available to project partners, the platform also offers valuable insights and tools that are publicly accessible to all.

The Waste Wizard

Developed by: Ariadne Innovation , Quest, OVAM & RISE

The Waste Wizard was developed as an innovative response to a shared challenge in the textile industry: how can we better connect companies with leftover textiles to those who can reuse or recycle them? By providing a demonstrator and  blueprint for a scalable, AI-enhanced tool , the Waste Wizard will help drive Europe towards a more circular and connected textile economy.  

The Circular Garment

Developed by: The RegioGreenTex consortium: RISE, Citeve, Quest Studio, DBT Fibre, Sasia, SaXcell, Textile de la Thierache, Tintex, Katty Fashion, Officina 39

How circular can we go? Joining forces and expertise in this consortium shows. The Circular Garment contains mechanical and chemically recycled fibers, using innovative spinning, knitting, dyeing, and manufacturing techniques. The result: a timeless, wearable unisex piece designed for longevity and recyclability. More than 12 SMEs and research centers from 8 European regions joined forces, creating a textile value circle instead of a value chain.  

Self-Assessment Tool (SAT)

Developed by: Euramaterials

Evaluate your company’s involvement in the circular economy with the  Self-Assessment Tool (SAT),  focusing on raw materials, eco-design, production, and transparency.

Circular Economy Quiz

Developed by: Euramaterials

Test your knowledge with our interactive Circular Economy Quiz and learn more about sustainability in the textile industry.

RGT Textile Taxonomy & Glossary

Developed by: Wageningen University

The textile and clothing sector is rich in its vocabulary to describe all stages in the manufacturing process. The textile industry is in transition to become more sustainable and circular, and novel processes and new materials become part of the value chains. This RGT Textile Taxonomy contributes to developing the necessary common language or terminology to support this transition. The RGT textile Taxonomy is in the form of a searchable database.

RGT Training Packages

Developed by: Wageningen University

In order to support professionals in their transition to a more sustainable and circular textile sector, training packages were developed by organizing and evaluating existing digital training resources. Several key categories for training have been identified, including value chains, sustainable design, production, consumer behavior, end-of-life options and recycling. These RGT Training packages contribute to a smoother transition towards more sustainable practices across the industry. 

RGT Infrastructure Database

Developed by: Oost-Nl & Ariadne (Ellie.Connect)

To accelerate the green transition in the textile sector, we’re mapping accessible R&D infrastructure across Europe, from testing labs and pilot lines to specialized machinery and expert support. This database helps SMEs find the right expertise and equipment before making heavy investments themselves. 

RGT Exploitation Tool box

Developed by: Techtera

The goal of this toolbox is to support SMEs developing circular products or services in finding their route to market. Indeed, accessing the market with innovative and sustainable solutions can be challenging, as it often requires deploying specific competitive advantages. This tool box provides advice to  perform market viability, define brand identities, prove their positive impact, promote and communicating, improve sales and measure progress with relevant KPIs.

From Rags To Regulations

Developed by: Ovam

The goal of this document is to help textile companies navigate waste legislation on the EU-level and, where applicable, also on the Flemish level. It provides practical steps on how to comply with various pieces of legislation and explains concepts such as end-of-waste, environmental permits, registrations and waste transports.

Mapping & Gap Analysis Tool

Developed by: CENTEXBEL, NTT and Po.In.Tex

To enable a thorough mapping of circular textile value chains, highlight obstacles and initiate improvements, the Mapping and Gap Analysis Tool provides the structure and a prioritisation function for a systematic review of process steps.

Boosting Circularity in Textile Sector Services and Opportunities from Italian Textile Ecosystems

Developed by: Italian GreenTex Hub

This document is intended as a practical tool. For companies, it offers insights and methodologies to navigate change and strengthen competitiveness. For associations and consortia, it provides a framework to coordinate shared action. For policymakers and institutions, it highlights the on-the-ground realities of the sector and the necessary conditions to scale circular practices effectively.

Eco-Design Strategies

Developed by: Italian GreenTex Hub

If ecodesign is the key to building a more sustainable textile supply chain, this report cannot be a closed document. There needs to be continuous dialogue between those who design, those who produce, those who distribute – and those who recover, select, repair, and reuse.
The guide is the result of a collaboration between Next Technology Tecnotessile and the Service Design Lab at the University of Florence
