BATWATEX: Development of a plant based vegan leather

Is a sustainable vegan leather alternative material made of potato leaves fiber, technical hemp, and recycled plastic.
Final grant requested (Lead partner SIA BATWATEX): €20,000.00

BIOMX

Is an antimicrobial finishing agent that can be employed with different fibers and fabrics. The technology proposed showcases that antimicrobial treatments can manage the microbiome so that clothing can be longer worn in space and hence reduce the payload for the missions and aid in prolonging the wearability of the spacesuit due to less degradation at the inner layer.
