About
Doing Good is running database developments and currently also a national Swedish ESF funded project, Remake Textile, in the field of social innovation and creation of standardized education & training, which will be finalized in February 2026.
Together with the Swedish School of Textiles, Chalmers University of Technology, Digital Twin Cities Center, and the University of the Aegean, we are now preparing for a project focusing on traceability technologies for textiles and machine automated sorting. In cooperation with these partners, we cover the below stated Areas of Activities.
For this, we are searching for partnerships in an upcoming Horizon Cluster 4 call, the Eureka Circular Value call, several VINNOVA - Swedish Agency of Innovation international calls, and ESF national / EU level calls:
- start-ups or other SMEs in the field of traceability technologies
- apparel producers and retailers
- machine automation producers and developers
Data technologies, data ecosystems and cross-linking
Data ecosystems for the realisation of circular value creation exploiting the full potential of digitalisation – e.g., harnessing existing, purpose-built platform solutions.Interoperability of CVC-relevant data ecosystems, quality assurance and traceability across systems(AI based) recognition systems (e.g. image recognition) to evaluate materials, components and products and determine the best use pathsApproaches to support SME fully exploit the value of existing CVC-related dataDesign of an adaptable Digital Product Pass
Other enabling technologies
AI-driven diagnostic systems, e.g., for assessing the viability of reused, remanufactured, and recycled componentsIndustry 4.0 technologies (IoT, big data analytics) for monitoring and managing circular value chainsLife cycle assessment / Product life cycle management – e.g., Digital Twin / Digital Product PassportTools and solutions addressing challenges emerging from product focused regulations (such as the ESPR)
