TEXTIL-VÄX: Conversion of textile waste to cultivation substrate with used mushroom compost

The project aims to develop sustainable value chains for textile and mushroom waste to reduce the environmental footprint of horticulture. By combining SMC with textile waste, a new composting method is created that produces peat-free cultivation substrates. This contributes to circular solutions in the horticultural, textile and mushroom industries, and generates new knowledge on compost quality from a cultivation point of view in relation to the textile material. The project also reinforces our ongoing tests on SMC and cotton textiles.
