Project overview
Year of project
2023
MOME Innovation Center, in partnership with responsible fashion brand Nanushka, has launched the Conscious Textile Group, a material R&D hub designed to explore innovative ways to use post-production textiles in a circular manner.
The Conscious Textile Group comprises international researchers, academics, students, and industry experts; all dedicated to advancing sustainable efforts in textile production and usage within the fashion industry. As a part of this initiative, MOME and Nanushka created a research fellowship program with an open call in ‘Down to the fiber’ recycling, aiming to provide meaningful results for textile circularity.
The Conscious Textile Development Program was also launched as a part of the cooperation, where MOME citizens develop innovative ways to recycle deadstock materials on an industrial scale. Participants of the development program go through the phases of research, feasibility study and potentially industrialization of their innovation.
