SOSREW

Expected results

The SOSREW project will develop and pilot two circular service models for the collection, recycling, cleaning, and further processing of raw wool and recycled wool textiles. By connecting producers, recyclers, logistics operators, and end-users across Finland and Estonia, the project aims to significantly reduce wool waste and strengthen the regional wool value chain.
Through co-design methods, material testing, prototyping, and field validation, SOSREW will create sustainable service models to produce wool-based alternatives to plastic-based materials. The project strengthens cross-border collaboration, promotes circular economy practices, supports new bioeconomy business opportunities, and contributes to EU sustainability goals by advancing reusable, durable, and potentially compostable wool-based solutions.
