LINIFICIO E CANAPIFICIO NAZIONALE SRL SOCIETA’ BENEFIT

Linificio tests TEX4GREEN’s biosurfactants and dyes in real textile processes. They apply them in post dye washing and acid scouring to replace harmful chemicals and check performance under mill conditions.

EXT TECHNOLOGY TECNOTESSILE SOCIETA NAZIONALE DI RICERCA R L

NTT adapts TEX4GREEN’s lignin based hydrophobic coatings for textile use, ensuring they apply smoothly and cure correctly. They also verify that the coatings deliver reliable performance on finished fabrics.

CENTRE SCIENTIFIQUE ET TECHNIQUE DE L INDUSTRIE TEXTILE BELGE

Centexbel selects bio based fixing agents such as chitosan and tannins. They test how effectively these help natural dyes bond to fibres. They ensure the fixing agents remain biodegradable and metal free.

MEKREO ENGINEERING SOCIEDAD LIMITADA

Mekreo’s co-founder, Elena, oversees strategic development and patent aligned scale up. Miguel, their other co-founder, manages process engineering, technical validation, and pilot to industrial implementation.

FINIPUR NV

Finipur carries out the pilot and industrial finishing trials for TEX4GREEN’s functional coatings. They evaluate performance in washing, scouring, and finishing steps on industrial equipment. They check compatibility with existing recipes and ensure the final fabric quality is maintained.

DECATHLON PRODUZIONE ITALIA SRL

Decathlon’s role is to validate bio based coatings, surfactants, and dyes on real sportswear production lines. The team tests PFAS free coatings, SSbD compliant surfactants and algae derived dyes on footwear and seamless garment prototypes. Their goal is to reach TRL 7 by proving these solutions meet Decathlon’s quality and performance standards.

MARZOTTO LAB S.R.L.

Marzotto helps validate TEX4GREEN’s biosurfactants in real textile processes. They check color performance, process efficiency and compatibility with industrial workflows.

DYNAMIC & SECURITY COMPUTATIONS SL

Analisis builds the digital twin building blocks for TEX4GREEN’s value chains. They extend the digital twin to enable SSbD assessment.

CORMATEX SRL-MACCHINARIO TESSILE EIMPIANTI

Cormatex will use its Airlay Lap Formair technology to turn shredded fibers and coated textile waste into new nonwoven products at TRL 6–7. The company tests whether TEX4GREEN’s bio based coatings remain compatible with mechanical recycling.
