The EchoCraft Reused Textiles (ECTR) project develops innovative acoustic seating and armchairs using textile waste, in line with circular economy principles. The aim is to integrate recycled materials into furniture design to improve indoor acoustic quality while reducing environmental impact.
The project focuses on sustainable transformation techniques to enhance the value of textile waste, balancing aesthetics with acoustic performance. This initiative supports the creation of a circular, sustainable supply chain, driving innovation in the furniture industry.
The ECTR project aligns with circular economy goals and the broader green transition, tackling the challenge of reusing textile waste within the furniture sector.
It responds to the growing need to reduce the environmental footprint of furniture production by connecting the textile and furniture industries to develop sustainable, high-performance solutions.
The project meets a growing demand for products that combine design, acoustic functionality, and sustainability, aiming to enhance the environmental quality of living and working spaces.
