ADEME has launched a call for projects, called TEXHABI, dedicated to the eco-design of clothing textiles. This article presents the initiative, its beneficiaries, available grants, eligible expenses, application procedures and the project timeline.
Project presentation
The TEXHABI call for projects, proposed by ADEME, aims to support companies in the textile sector in their eco-design approach and preparation for environmental labelling. Eco-design aims to reduce the environmental impact of textile products throughout their life cycle, from manufacture to end-of-life.
this aid has three main objectives:
Reducing environmental impact: Helping companies minimize their carbon footprint and environmental impact.
Encourage eco-design: Promote the implementation of best practices in the design of textile products to improve their sustainability and traceability.
Informing consumers: Facilitate the display of an "environmental cost" for eco-designed products, to better inform consumers about the environmental impact of the textiles they buy.
Who's concerned?
This call for projects (AAP) is aimed at companies in the textile sector, whatever their size (VSE, SME, ETI, GE):
Issuers of clothing products affected by environmental labelling regulations.
Suppliers/manufacturers of clothing products.
Help details
Terms of assistance
This project aims to support companies, with 3 types of project depending on their level of eco-design maturity.
Focus1: First steps in eco-design:
This section is designed for companies wishing to begin their eco-design process and benefit from support in setting up basic practices:
For SMEs only
The aim is to empower companies in their initial ecodesign actions, by selecting improvement measures from recognized ecodesign levers and drawing up a roadmap.
Maximum assistance: €5,000
Deliverable: costed action plan.
Axe2: Ecodesign diagnosis
Open to all company sizes and maturity levels
Objective: To help companies deepen their eco-design actions through customized diagnostic studies in relation to their processes and value chains.
Maximum grant: €50,000.
Deliverable: Detailed diagnosis and recommendations for improvement.
Focus3: Implementing eco-design levers
Open to all company sizes.
Objective: To help companies prepare their eco-designed products for the market.
Maximum grant: €100,000.
Deliverable: Implementation roadmap and calculation of the environmental cost of products.
Important information:
Ecodesign project studies can be supported up to 80% of internal and service costs.
Funding varies according to project focus and company size. For example, for axis 2, companies can obtain a subsidy covering up to 60-80% of eligible expenses, with a maximum subsidy base of €50,000.
