Welcome to PHYBi

PHytomanagement for a
Bio-Based Textile Industry

pHYBi is an initiative funded by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) that aims to combine the phytoremediation of polluted soils with the valorisation of lignocellulosic biomass to contribute to soil health and a bio-based circular textile industry.

The key elements of the pHYBi concept are:

Investigation and monitoring of existing and newly established phytomanagement pilot sites.
Testing, optimising, and validating a set of phytomanagement strategies based on woody and herbaceous industrial crops at selected field sites (TRL 5).
Extraction and valorisation of lignocellulosic fractions and quality characterisation for utilisation in textile applications.
Deployment of a Virtual Replication Tool for simulating the phytomanagement process in other European territories and to link biomass producers with the biorefinery industry.
Guidelines, recommendations and thresholds for the replication of pHYBi's case studies.
Proving the technical, economic, social, and environmental feasibility and positive impact of the pHYBi processes.

Cross-project collaboration for healthier soils in Europe

18. December 2025

On 28 November 2025, the pHYBi project hosted an online exchange meeting that focused on sustainable soil remediation. The meeting brought together several EU initiatives, including LIFE PFASTER, ARAGORN, and bioSOILUTIONS, providing a platform for sharing knowledge across projects, discussing lessons learned and highlighting challenges encountered in the field of phytoremediation.

pHYBi’s First Year

8. December 2025

The pHYBi project is celebrating its first anniversary with some exciting progress in transforming contaminated soils into sustainable textile innovations. Backed by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU), the project combines soil remediation with bio-based textile solutions. This approach tackles the dual challenges of soil restoration and the demand for circular feedstock.
