INNOVATION & ECO SOCIO INNOVATION

TDV Industries is part of the AutoNotex project to develop connected textiles that produce their own energy. AutoNotex is for supported by the Government and financed in part by BPI France as part of PIAVE (Industrial Projects for the Future).

624 000 ? That is the number of tons of TLC (Textiles for household Linen, Clothes and shoes) that went on the market in 2017. To reinvent the end of life of all this TLC , in particular, professional clothing, TDV Industries joined forces with the CETI Technical Research Centre, resulting in the REPS consortium. This consortium offers ongoing help and advice to companies in the textile sector (linen hire firms & clothing manufacturers) that are /strong>

The name of the REWIND up-cycling project comes from the button of that name on old-fashioned cassette players! The REWIND project is about reinventing the end of life of clothing. This project, undertaken in collaboration with the ADEME French Environment and Energy Management Agency, Icam Engineering School, CETI Technical Research Centre, Decathlon sports brand and LAROCHE clothing brand aims, via post-consumer textile recycling (cotton and cotton/polyester), to produce a new textile material for the SOLOGNAC hunting clothing range sold at DECATHLON.

Involved in the project are the following: The French National Post Office, National Railways (SNCF), National Ski School (ESF), Paris City Hall, French National Gas Network (GRDF), Ministry of Defence, Ministry of the Interior, Ministry for Ecological Transition and Solidarity, Ministry of Economy and Finance, Synergies TLC recycling network, Bilum upcycling, Sympatex textiles, FEP Federation of Cleaning Companies, SNCF Logistics, CETI Technical Research Centre, Texeco-Moncorgé recycled yarns, Buitex insulation, TDV Industries

The FRIVEP project (for the Re-use and Industrial Recycling of Professional Clothing) comes under the heading of the first four national commitments to Green Growth (ECV: Engagement Pour la Croissance Verte). The project brings together industrial solution providers and decision-makers, who face different issues (end-of-life management for uniforms which includes traceability; securing and supply of raw materials). The ultimate objective of this project is to implement technical solutions that take into account these different problems and benefit the project team members.

The ORÉE Organisation to which we belong brings together companies, professional bodies, local and regional authorities, etc., with the aim of developing and sharing good practices based on 3 essential criteria: CSR, circular economy and biodiversity.

TDV INDUSTRIES is part of the NOFORMOL*project, with the TECHTERA cluster label, which aims to develop alternatives to traditional finishing treatments containing formol while meeting economic and environmental requirements.
This work is part of a UFI (Unique Interministerial Fund) project and includes five other partners: Senszo Color (project initiator), Science et Surface, RESCOLL, IFTH French Textile, and Clothing Institute, and INSA Engineering School).
*With the support of : Région Pays de la Loire / DGE / BPIFrance / l’Europe s’engage en Rhône-Alpes et Région Rhône-Alpes

Thanks to REb[EARTH], TDV Industries is reinventing the future existence of end-of-life professional clothing and manufacturing fabrics obtained from materials extracted from reclaimed clothing.
