Fibers recovery from blended textiles without their depolymerization and degradation
Textile waste poses a significant challenge, with incineration and landfill being the dominant methods of disposal. Fibre-to-fibre recycling is one of the key methods to address this waste crisis. Renasens AB developed an anhydrous and patent-pending technology that recovers fibres from both pure and mixed textile waste without depolymerisation or degradation. This project aims to further improve Renasens' technology and kick-start its scale-up through a collaboration with key players across the value chain including Wargön Innovation, KTH, RISE, ITA Aachen University, Borås U., Saxion U., Chalmers Industriteknik, Houdini Sportswear AB and Kentaur A/S. The aim is to increase the technical and commercial readiness of this separation technology. The success of this project could pave the way for significant investments at Renasens AB, with the ambitious goal of recycling 100 000 tonnes of mixed textiles by 2030, thus contributing to a more circular textile industry.
