Changing the Dutch textile industry.
Digitally. Together.
A fieldlab connecting digitalisation, circularity, and real production — giving the Dutch textile ecosystem the tools, knowledge, and infrastructure to act.
Join the MovementThe opportunity space
The Dutch textile industry stands at a turning point. European regulations demand lifecycle responsibility. But current digital tools are fragmented, production is disconnected, and circular promises lack infrastructure.
TOS13 is where that changes. A physical-digital fieldlab at Textile Campus Tilburg in the heart of the Netherlands, where companies, researchers, and creatives connect machines, materials, and data — and validate the systems that make circularity operational, enforceable, and scalable.
Impact quadrant
We are committed to lead the digital responsibility movement and change the Dutch textile industry for the better.
Preserve and restore resources through transparent, data-driven material flows
Push the boundaries of distributed micro-factories and digital manufacturing
Educate and empower a generation of makers, designers, and circular practitioners
Unlock a movement for real change through shared digital infrastructure
Three phases. One connected system.
TOS13 structures digitalisation as a continuous transformation — validated in fieldlab conditions.
CLOE.ai — Encode
AI-driven orchestration that transforms Digital Product Passport data into actionable workflows. Compliance becomes a launchpad, not a bottleneck.
DISTILL — Materialise
Digital twins, digital sampling, and human-machine micro-factories that translate encoded data into distributed production. Real products, real conditions, SME scale.
ELEVATOR — Profile
AI-driven evaluation at post-use thresholds, routing products toward their highest-value next life — resale, repair, remanufacture, or recycling.
Why join?
Test digital tools and circular workflows in a controlled environment before committing at scale.
Build DPP compliance into your operations now — while competitors are still figuring out the paperwork.
Work hands-on with AI orchestration, digital twins, VLM-based sorting, and micro-factory setups.
Collaborate with researchers, manufacturers, creatives, and technology partners in one physical space in the Netherlands.
Consortium partners — Now recruiting
Together we trigger a movement of conscious creation. The fieldlab is open to industrial partners, creative practices, and technology providers who want to shape the digital future of Dutch textiles.
Whether you bring materials, machines, data, or design — there is a seat at the table.
