Mainly, downcycling to low quality products (e.g. cleaning rags) takes place.
High material diversity of used textiles leads to challenges in recycling.
Fast fashion is a driver for large quantities of lower quality textiles.
Our vision of the textile loop
High-quality recycling instead of landfilling and energetic
utilization in our recycling atelier.
Area concept
The Atelier enables the path of textile secondary raw materials back into high-quality products
- Development of new products and processes for textile secondary raw materials within the framework of a Makers Factory
- Development of concepts, for the complete recycling of used textiles back to new products in the best possible quality by:
-
- Integrated and high quality recycling (Upcycling)
- cycle-oriented product design (Design 4 Recycling)
- Industrial realization of recycling concepts and business models
- Learning Factory as a training and further education facility
Our partner model
Bundled competence leads to new recycling products faster through innovative technologies along the entire process chain!
