Textile waste

Textile waste

Textile waste represents one of the main challenges and opportunities in the transition towards a circular economy in the fashion and textile sector. With millions of tons of textile waste generated annually in Europe and worldwide, there is a growing need for industrial solutions capable of transforming these post-consumer and post-industrial materials into new resources. In this context, chemical recycling of polyester offers a concrete, scalable, and sustainable response that overcomes the limitations of traditional mechanical recycling technologies.

Our process, developed in-house and available under a full licensing model with technical support and engineering packages, enables the depolymerization of textile waste containing PET to obtain purified monomers suitable for a new industrial life. This allows the recovery of material even from fabrics difficult to treat with mechanical recycling, such as mixed, colored, or contaminated with other polymers.

The key advantage lies in the ability to valorize heterogeneous textile waste streams, making it possible to regenerate polyester in its pure form. This solution is particularly suitable for companies within the textile supply chain aiming to close the production loop by integrating textile-to-textile recycling models, but also for logistics operators, sorting platforms, or consortia active in waste management.
