How To Make Use Of Recycled Fabrics To Produce New High Quality Environmental Protection Fibers?

There are not many companies that recycle old clothes.

But how to recycle it?

The production of new high quality environmentally friendly fibers is still a major problem in the industry.

Recently, the Swedish textile recycling company re:newcellAB announced that the company's new cotton recycling mode will revolutionize the fashion industry, and truly achieve efficient use of resources.

At present, the company has begun to build demonstration plants.

according to

Reported that re:newcellAB uses new technologies to turn

The old clothes, such as T-shirts, are converted into new textile sizes, which can be used to produce new clothes.

The factory is located in the AkzoNobel (AKZO NOBEL) plant of Kristinehamn, Sweden, and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2017.

Old clothes - dissolving wood pulp - high quality environmentally friendly fiber

The company says cellulose based

The fiber recovery process can greatly extend the use time of human resources.

Re:newcellAB's new technology developed in Stockholm laboratory can pform waste textiles into new pulp - dissolving wood pulp (currently obtained mainly from trees).

Dissolving pulp is mainly used to produce high quality environmental protection textile fibers such as Viscose (viscose fiber) or Lyocell (soluble fiber).

At present, the global demand for textiles is 90 million tons per year. Cotton and viscose fibers account for only 1/3 of the total. The rest are mainly petroleum based materials, such as polyester, spandex and nylon.

By extending the life span of existing natural materials to expand the total resources, it is imperative for consumers and large fashion companies.

So far, the quality of recycled cotton can not meet the requirements of the fashion industry, but the re:newcell recycled slurry can be achieved.

The company began to develop this technology in 2012, and now the whole process is basically mature. At present, it is investing 8 million euros to build a production line.

MalcolmNorlin, chairman of the company's board of directors, said: "we are delighted to move forward and contribute to the sustainable textile industry.

Kristinehamn's excellent geographical location enables us to get access to the excellent technology of large-scale production with high efficiency of resources utilization, and it is also a great advantage to operate in a first-class factory like AkzoNobel.

Nordic pulp manufacturers have made breakthroughs in the research and development of wood pulp textile fibers, after which manufacturers developed an environmentally friendly production method that made white wood and pine trees into garments and sofa fabrics.
