Valtavat maailmanlaajuiset tekstiilimarkkinat kasvavat tasaisesti. Tekstiiliteollisuus on tärkein tulonlähde joissakin maissa, ja sillä on tärkeä rooli taloudessa.
Dr. Md. Reazuddin Repon, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Textile Chemistry Group, Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems, Aalto University, has contributed as an editor to a newly published academic volume titled “Nanoparticles Integrated Functional Textiles”.
In an era where fashion waste is mounting as a global environmental concern, Shubhajit Dutta, Doctoral Researcher in the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems of Aalto University is working on sustainable textile recycling.
Tonmoy Saha, a Doctoral Researcher in the Textile Chemistry Group at the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems, is breaking new ground in the field of textile sustainability.
The BioSusTex consortium convened on September 9–10, 2025, for a two-day meeting dedicated to advancing sustainable textile technologies.
In the global push toward sustainability, the textile sector stands out as one of the industries most in need of transformation. Traditionally reliant on synthetic dyes and petroleum-based auxiliaries, textile dyeing and finishing have long been criticized for their heavy chemical footprint.
August 18, 2025 – The results meeting of the TexirC project took place at Valmet’s Fiber Technology Center.
August 8, 2025 – The Textile Chemistry Group convened its Annual Meeting on Friday, August 8, bringing together researchers, doctoral candidates, master’s students, and interns to share their latest work in advancing sustainable textile technologies. The meeting was inaugurated and chaired by Professor Ali Tehrani, Head of the Textile Chemistry Group, who welcomed all members and emphasized the importance of collaborative research in shaping the future of the textile industry.
Developing an efficient color stripping process to remove reactive dyes from textile waste, enhancing fabric recyclability and environmental safety.
Professor Ali Tehrani and his research group focus on something very familiar to us all – textiles.

Sustainable fit-for-purpose nonwovens is a research project that responds to the need of Finnish industry to improve competitiveness and expand opportunities in the rapidly growing market for sustainable nonwovens.
The goal of the FinnFiberColor project is to develop solutions for the challenges that man-made cellulose fiber (MMCF) technologies face.
This project aims to develop a modular one-/two-step platform that pre-activates cellulose with triazinium salts and uses N-heterocyclic leaving groups to graft dyes, amino acids, and biopolymers—enabling durable colouration and functional coatings.
