Polyester textile recycling facility planned in North Carolina
31/10/2024
Selenis is a division IMG Group, a global company based in Portugal and specialising in PET polymers since 1959. The textile recycling facility will be built alongside its existing production site in North Carolina and will “form a continuous production flow, covering processes from pre-processing depolymerisation to polymerisation and PET-chips production,” reads the statement.
“We call this establishment a Blueprint Plant since the work there will lay the foundation for Syre’s continued global expansion, with the process being mirrored and scaled up in our upcoming gigascale plants globally,” said Syre CEO Dennis Nobelius.
Founded earlier this year, Syre claims that its recycling technology for polyester reduces CO2e emissions by up to 85% compared to the production of oil-based virgin polyester.
