Teamwork creates solution for polycotton waste
13/06/2023
The partnership builds upon the commercial success that Circ and Acegreen have achieved already, as demonstrated in a recent product release with Zara.
Acegreen will continue manufacturing filament lyocell utilizing Circ’s reclaimed cotton derived from polycotton textile waste. The formal partnership comes after several years of R&D collaboration, which recently transitioned to commercial-scale production.
Circ developed a technology system and industrial process that separates and recovering mixed polymer streams, specifically any blend of polyester and cotton, which account for most fabrics manufactured.
Roger Chou, Acegreen’s CEO, said: “The future for manmade cellulosic fibers, like lyocell, is reclaimed cotton in place of tree pulp. With Circ’s innovative solutions and Acegreen’s long-standing history of technology research and development, we are looking forward to transforming the market at present and in the future.”
