CeNTI -

The INTEGRA project aims to develop multifunctional and sustainable textile architectures, using natural, biodegradable, and recycled materials, as well as technologies with a lower environmental impact. These structures will be employed in the creation of inclusive garments designed to address an existing market gap by offering appropriate features in terms of mobility, ergonomics and comfort, while meeting the demanding functional requirements associated with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and sialorrhoea (also known as hypersalivation, or excessive saliva production).

Within the scope of the project, a case study will be carried out focusing on the development of these inclusive garments, whose effectiveness will subsequently be evaluated through a Focus Group involving real users.

In parallel, the functional and technical performance of the developed textile architectures and solutions will be assessed, covering parameters such as mechanical performance, breathability, moisture management, odour prevention and antibacterial properties. The project also includes validating the sustainability level of these solutions, through the application of recognised methods and standards for assessing biodegradability, reusability and recyclability of the products, as well as implementing the Digital Product Passport (DPP).
