This project aims to reinvigorate the textile recycling sector by adapting traditional nonwoven recycling techniques for a new, high value application - furniture manufacture. If successfully commercialised this will tackle a priority waste stream (post consumer textiles) and create a closed loop furniture range designed for extended materials use. The project team will explore new furniture designs, develop prototypes, undertake market testing and explore innovative business models which will enage the consumer in end of life textiles collection. This responds to the following 4 opportunities: 1. large supply of raw materials (0.8M tonnes of textiles sent to landfill each year from households in the UK (WRAP), 2. Increasing interest in end of life textiles applications (e.g within the Sustainable Clothing Roadmap),3. an experienced textile reprocessing sector, and 4. increasing consumer interest in sustainable and UK manufactured furniture.

该项目旨在通过将传统的非织造布回收技术应用于新的高价值应用-家具制造，重振纺织品回收行业。如果成功商业化，这将解决优先废物流（消费后纺织品），并创建一个专为扩展材料使用而设计的闭环家具系列。该项目团队将探索新的家具设计，开发原型，进行市场测试，并探索创新的商业模式，这将使消费者在生命周期结束的纺织品收集。这是对以下4个机会的回应：1。大量的原材料供应（英国家庭每年有80万吨纺织品被送往垃圾填埋场（WRAP），2.增加对纺织品应用的兴趣（例如在可持续服装路线图中），3.一个经验丰富的纺织品再加工行业，和4。增加消费者对可持续和英国制造家具的兴趣。
