Laudes Foundation, an independent foundation working towards regenerative economy, is inviting proposals from an independent organisation or consortium to conduct an assessment of the availability and viability of agricultural waste and residue to use as feedstock for production of textile fibres at scale. The proposals must be submitted by April 17, 2020.
Laudes Foundation is taking forward the industry-changing work of C&A Foundation and is working persistently and collaboratively to drive change at the systems-level while also working to influence capital and transform industry. Under the fashion vertical of the foundation, one of the focus areas is to work towards making the global material mix sustainable through the materials programme. The materials programme is commissioning an assessment of the availability and viability of agricultural waste and residue to use as feedstock for production of textile fibres at scale.Laudes Foundation, an independent foundation working towards regenerative economy, is inviting proposals from an independent organisation or consortium to conduct an assessment of the availability and viability of agricultural waste and residue to use as feedstock for production of textile fibres at scale.

Some initial research on identifying technical innovations using agricultural waste and residue as feedstock has been conducted. This study is intended to build on the research and propose recommendations on specific waste and residue that is feasible to be diverted to the textile industry at scale. The study shall provide a detailed analysis of quantity of agriculture waste and residue generated and available for use as feedstock for textile fibre production, according to a press release by Laudes.
The study shall also map geographic hubs for sourcing such agriculture waste and residue; and provide actionable recommendations for streamlining supply chain and logistics to enable scale up of agriculture waste and residue feedstock for use in textile fibre production. The request for proposals presents a brief description of the expected outcomes of the study, the background and context, scope, purpose, expected deliverables, and indicative timelines, along with consultant qualifications and projected level of effort. The study should be completed and submitted to Laudes Foundation by July 31, 2020.
