A breakthrough in the fashion and textile industry will enable large-scale textile recycling.
Swedish company Södra has created a new technique that can separate cotton and polyester which enables them to make new textiles out of the left-over materials.
President of the company, Johannes Bogren said, "we are now redrawing the map for the fashion and textile industry by offering circular flows of textile fibres. A sweater can now become a sweater again. This will create added value for our customers, and especially the fashion industry.”
