Circ Polyester fibre

Circ have developed a unique hydrothermal process for recycling mixed textiles made up of cotton and polyester, like polycotton. With their technology, it is possible to extract both materials separately and convert them into the raw materials for new fibres. Usually with mixed material recycling, certain ingredients are sacrificed to save one. In this case, both are useable in new textiles and products. The polyester is recovered from the mixed waste and converted into TPA and MEG, the building blocks required for new polyester. Image Circ.
