JFAlmeida participated in the final event of the be@t – Bioeconomy at Textiles project, held at the Leixões Cruise Terminal. Integrated into Portugal’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) and led by CITEVE, the consortium brings together more than 50 entities with the goal of promoting a more sustainable, circular, and bio-based textile industry. The company highlighted its collaboration with CITEVE and CeNTI in the development of innovative eco-design solutions. Among these, the be@t Blanket stood out, having won the iTechStyle Textile Innovation Awards 2025, and being made from recycled cotton and polyester while dyed using agro-industrial waste. The be@t “Natural Remnants, Painted By Process” Jacket was also showcased, produced entirely in Portugal using recycled cotton and sustainably printed with grape pomace and coffee grounds. These developments demonstrate the potential of the circular economy to significantly reduce water and carbon footprints without compromising quality or aesthetics. The event reinforced that the future of the textile sector is sustainable, innovative, and proudly Portuguese.
