The ReSporTEX project aims to develop new functional textile structures, from yarns to knits, through the incorporation of bioactive agents, such as antimicrobial, anti-odor, and anti-inflammatory compounds, derived from multi-sectorial industrial waste. These active compounds will be integrated into the fibre matrix or applied via surface functionalisation, ensuring the preservation of their therapeutic properties throughout the production processes and across the lifespan of the functional materials, thereby resulting in high value-added textile products.

The project also seeks to use bio-based, biodegradable, and/or recycled polymers as the textile matrix, combined with the recovered and functionalised waste materials, leading to a more ecological and sustainable solutions.

These innovative technological solutions are highly relevant to the needs of athletes, promoting well-being during sports activities and supporting faster recovery following training or injury.
