TexRestore
Industrial restoration of textile products for a competitive and resilient Swedish manufacturing industry
TexRestore aims to create a new industrial model for circular textile restoration that can scale from today’s tens of thousands of products to millions of garments per year. By bringing together collection, sorting, repair, washing, reconditioning, and distribution in centralized hubs, the project seeks to make textile life‑extension both profitable and an obvious climate choice for fashion brands, workwear suppliers, public-sector actors, and retailers.
Project goal
The goal during the project period is to develop, test, and validate a centralized restoration hub in which all process steps are optimized, standardized, and documented in manuals, business models, and key performance indicators that can serve as a foundation for full‑scale hubs in Sweden and across Europe. The project will also develop a digital twin of a larger restoration hub and validate the patented Automated Repair Module (ARM), in order to reduce costs, improve quality, and enable rapid scaling of capacity.
