WHAT'S THE SITUATION?
There is a lack of recycling options in the fashion industry due to the difficulty of disassembling clothes and separating different materials on an industrial scale. This generates over over 1.2 billion tons of CO² and wastes over 432 billion in materials each year.
HOW THEY CAN HELP
Resortecs developed a globally-patented thermal disassembly technology to ease recycling. Their dissolvable stitching threads allow brands to transform products into fully recyclable pieces from manufacturing, and their disassembly systems enable recyclers to disassemble 5x faster and tap into 2x more premium material at an 11% lower cost.
USE CASE
Using Resortecs, a global brand was able to recycle 100 000 unsold polos that would have been burned, into new ones for 2023.
