A New Perspective on Recycling From a Material-Centric Approach: RePEaT
In the textile industry, efforts towards "fiber-to-fiber" recycling are garnering attention. This is because effectively utilizing limited resources and reducing environmental pollution are critical challenges.
However, fibers can include both natural and synthetic fibers. Naturally, they are often colored and mixed with multiple materials. Recycling requires technology to remove these foreign materials, including dyes.
For example, even with polyester, if it is 100% pure and undyed, it can be recycled. However, when colored or mixed with other materials, methods such as thermal recovery or material recycling, which involve repurposing it as raw material for other products, are generally used.
Against this backdrop, a company was newly established with specialists from the textile industry, engineering, and trading sectors to tackle this issue using a groundbreaking method called chemical recycling. This involves chemically decomposing discarded textile products back into raw materials, enabling "fiber-to-fiber" recycling.
