Byssus Tech for Textile Waste Valorisation

Sander Nevejans

Founder & CEO at Seastex Ltd

Glasgow, United Kingdom

About

The project will design and validate high-performance, circular thermal and acoustic insulation materials derived from post-consumer and post-industrial textile waste. Textile fibres will be engineered with bio-based binder systems and processed through proprietary Byssus technology to produce low-carbon insulation products that meet the technical, regulatory, and fire-safety requirements of the construction sector. The R&D will systematically evaluate bio-based binders and circular flame-retardant formulations to optimise mechanical performance, thermal conductivity, acoustic absorption, and fire behaviour, while ensuring full recyclability and closed-loop reprocessability within the Byssus technology production system.
