Fabric manufacturer ISKO has finalised a licensing agreement with the Hong Kong Research Institute of Textile and Apparel (HKRITA) to use its Green Machine garment-to-garment recycling technology.

Green Machine technology uses a hydrothermal process to separate cotton and polyester in clothing, turning the polyester into new fibres and the cotton into a cellulose powder. The process is gentle, which allows the fibres to retain their properties.
