The project aims to reduce the environmental impact of the textile industry by using Lixea’s Dendronic® technology to convert wheat straw, an underutilized agricultural byproduct provided by Tolefors Gård, into high-quality dissolving pulp. This pulp will be used by TreeToTextile to create sustainable man-made cellulosic fibers, providing an eco-friendly alternative to polyester and chemically-intensive viscose. The initiative promotes the use of agricultural residues, reduces pollution, supports rural development in Sweden, and advances the shift toward a climate-neutral, circular bioeconomy.
Participants
Lixea Sweden AB, Tolefors Gård AB, TreeToTextile AB and Linköping University (Agtech Sweden).
Budget & time frame
