DICE: Textile regional circular economy
Textile regional circular economy
The Demonstration and Innovation Center for Textile Circular Economy (DICE): is a partner for stakeholders along the entire textile value chain and offers technological feasibility assessments for the transfer from pilot plant to industrial scale in the field of production and recycling of fibre materials based on native and synthetic polymers. In addition, the DICE sees itself as an independent network in the field of the textile circular economy, in which the exchange between the partners is promoted across sectors and further training opportunities are offered.
