About the project
Massive amounts of textiles end up in landfills or are being burned, posing an extensive environmental risk and societal cost. Textile production is one of the most polluting industries at the rate of 1.2 billion tons of CO2 every year. Tthe existing fiber solutions cannot recycle the growing piles of discarded textiles, nor is there is affordable and environmentally sustainable alternative on the market. The cellulose carbamate technology patented by the Finnish Infinited Fiber Company enables textile waste to be turned into cost-efficient, cotton-like fibre with superior qualities and functionality.
Impact of the project:
The project aims to tackle the challenges of environmental impact caused by textile industry.
Funding instrument H2020

About the project
The LIFE Lit4Nature aims to establish a stronger, evidence-based system for biodiversity conservation and restoration across Lithuania. Major focus will be placed on strengthening the national biodiversity monitoring system, improving data collection and integration and on introducing innovative monitoring approaches to support evidence-based conservation and restoration decisions.
Impact of the project:
The project aims to boost stronger biodiversity and ecosystem recovery across Lithuania through nationwide conservation and restoration. Further, it wants to achieve better national coordination for efficient and well targeted conservation measures and their funding.
Funding instrument LIFE Programme
Spinverse’s role
Spinverse experts supported the coordinator throughout the two-stage LIFE Strategic Nature Project application process from concept note development to submitting the final proposal.
The support included workshops that brought together the proposal team to sharpen the project concept and focus the application on the most relevant and critical aspects of Lithuania's
Prioritised Action Framework for Natura 2000 and the forthcoming National Restoration Plan.
Spinverse’s strategic guidance, hands-on support and thorough quality reviews helped us focus on the critical aspects, strengthen the proposal logic and present its impacts convincingly. Their LIFE expertise gave our team confidence and contributed significantly to the proposal’s high quality and successful funding outcome.”
