Re:Mix –Separation and recycling of textile waste fiber blends
To shift textile recycling from current low value products to a circular economy reproducing high quality textile fibers, the key issue of separating fiber blends must be better addressed. The fiber separation is important to increase textile waste streams, as many textile products on the market today are fiber blends. This project will gather partners from the whole textile chain, from fabric manufacturers to recycling organizations. Together we will identify and develop technical and sustainable strategies to the benefit of fiber separation. The ambition is for the project to fall into a subsequent innovation project, which besides technical solutions, will contribute to the global revolution needed for the textile industry to become more sustainable.
