Intimiti wins Innovate P2X grant to turn textile waste into fuel
Intimiti Australia Pty Ltd, developer of Celys, the world’s first certified compostable polyester has been awarded the Innovate P2X 2025 grant by the NSW Decarbonisation Innovation Hub. This milestone accelerates Intimiti’s mission to reduce textile waste while driving innovation at the intersection of circular textiles and clean energy, transforming end-of-life clothing into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
Intimiti Australia, developer of Celys—the world’s first certified compostable polyester—has won the Innovate P2X 2025 grant from NSW’s Decarbonisation Hub.
In partnership with Macquarie University, it will transform end-of-life clothing into Sustainable Aviation Fuel, tackling Australia’s low 2 per cent textile recycling rate and advancing circularity in textiles and clean energy.
Australia’s textile footprint highlights the urgency of intervention: 373,000 tonnes of new clothes are imported annually, while 200,000 tonnes of clothing still end up in landfill every year. Despite well-meaning donations, 210,000 tonnes of garments sent to charities or bins often cannot be resold or recycled, leaving the nation with a recycling rate of just 2 percent.
Through Innovate P2X funding and in collaboration with Macquarie University, Intimiti will help reshape the textile value chain by proving that end of life clothing can be reengineered into high value energy solutions. By bridging material innovation with clean energy, the company seeks to demonstrate a scalable model for true circularity where fashion waste is transformed into fuel for a decarbonised future. This breakthrough not only diverts valuable fibres from landfill and reduces microplastic pollution, but also delivers renewable fuel to the aviation sector, one of the hardest industries to decarbonise.
“This initiative is more than innovation, it’s reimagining waste as opportunity,” says Jason, Project Lead at Intimiti Australia. “By valorising waste streams, we’re creating high-impact circularity in textiles and energy industries.”
With Innovate P2X support, Intimiti aims to show that fashion waste can find a second life as clean energy, helping both people and the planet move toward a sustainable future.

Dior has appointed the famed French chef Yannick Alléno to be the culinary king of the Monsieur Dior restaurant at 30 Montaigne, the brand’s outrageously luxe Paris flagship.
A three-star Michelin chef, Alléno will also be responsible for La Pâtisserie – renamed “Le Jardin” – and Le Café: three venues dedicated to that French specialty – the art of living – located in the townhouse that saw the birth of the fashion house in 1946.
Very much a gastronomic revolutionary, Alléno is renowned for reinventing French cuisine by employing innovative techniques such as fermentation, extraction, and cryoconcentration to elevate sauces and capture the essence of flavors.
Alléno first began attracting attention as the chef of the five-star Hotel Meurice in Paris before going on to collaborate with Bernard Arnault, the CEO of LVMH, which controls Dior, at the 1947 restaurant in Cheval Blanc Courchevel, another brand within the luxury conglomerate.
“What would Christian Dior do if he were to create a restaurant today?” Alléno asked himself before creating an exclusive menu for Dior.
His new menu is designed like a collection, where forms and textures echo the couture universe, the archives, and Dior looks. Key inspirations include nature and flowers, about which Monsieur Dior was so passionate.
Yannick Alléno is, in 2025, the most Michelin-starred chef in the world, with 18 restaurants crowned with 17 stars in the Michelin Guide. Monsieur Dior becomes the nineteenth establishment under his direction.

Trump feels such measures would swiftly end the war in Ukraine.
President Donald Trump has called for fresh tariffs of up to 100 per cent on goods originating in China, while urging NATO members to stop purchasing Russian oil.
He feels China’s support was vital to Russia’s war effort and such measures would swiftly end the Ukraine war.
“China has a strong control, and even grip, over Russia, and these powerful Tariffs will break that grip,” he wrote on Truth Social.
In a post on Truth Social, which he described as “a letter to all Nato nations and the world,” Trump claimed that only decisive economic action could stop a ‘deadly, but ridiculous, war’.
He accused some members of the bloc of weakening the alliance by continuing to buy Russian oil. NATO had failed to fully commit to defeating Moscow, he insisted.
“I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all Nato Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all Nato Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA,” Trump wrote. “Anyway, I am ready to ‘go’ when you are. Just say when?”
His call for imposing punitive tariffs on China is because he feels China’s support was vital to Russia’s war effort.
“China has a strong control, and even grip, over Russia, and these powerful Tariffs will break that grip,” he wrote, suggesting the tariffs would be lifted once the conflict ended.
“This is not TRUMP’S WAR (it would never have started if I was President!), it is [Joe] Biden’s and [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy’s WAR,” he said in his social media post.
“If Nato does as I say, the WAR will end quickly, and all of those lives will be saved! If not, you are just wasting my time, and the time, energy, and money of the United States,” he added.
