Academics at the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences and the Augsburg Institute of Textile Technology (ITA) have opened the Recycling Atelier, a new model factory which will be dedicated to researching and developing sustainable material cycles.
In close collaboration with textile industry stakeholders, the facility will be used to create innovative products and processes that support recycling infrastructure, and will serve as a micro-factory to test promising solutions.
“With the Recycling Atelier, we are further expanding our core competencies in applied research and knowledge transfer,” said Nadine Warkotsch, president for research and sustainability at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences. “It offers us the opportunity to work with our scientists on a highly topical issue of our time – the value chain in the textile sector – as well as production and automation.”
