Welcome to PHYBi

Pytomanagement for a
Bio-Based Textile Industry

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

pHYBi visits brownfield site in Asturias Spain

pHYBi Project Members Visit Brownfield Site in Asturias, Spain

6. February 2025

#Throwback: In December 2024, project members from ICCRAM at the University of Burgos and the CETIM Technological Centre visited the Institute of Natural Resources and Territorial Planning (INDUROT) at the University of Oviedo. Together they inspected one of the key case studies within the pHYBi project—one of the largest brownfield sites in Spain

pHYBi joins the ALL4BIOREM – Alliance for Environmental Bioremediation

27. January 2025

We are excited to announce that pHYBi has officially joined the ALL4BIOREM cluster. This collaboration brings together leading projects in the field of bioremediation, including MIBIREM, BIOSYSMO Project, Nymphe, EDAPHOS, and ISLANDR Horizon EU, to exchange knowledge and advance innovative techniques and solutions in bioremediation. Together, we will build a comprehensive toolbox based on our collective findings and coordinate the dissemination of the results across our projects.

pHYBi at the European Mission Soil Week 2024

20. December 2024

In December 2024, the EU Mission Soil Week took place in Brussels, highlighting the crucial role of soil in mitigating climate change and supporting biodiversity. Key discussions revolved around food security, ecosystem resilience and sustainable soil management. The pHYBi project, which focuses on phytomanagement for a bio-based textile industry, participated in the discussion and was represented by two of its project partners: Idener and the University of Burgos (UBU).
