The most challenging obstacle to textile recycling is that the fabrics are often <strong>made from blended materials<\/strong>, and it is not easy to recycle mixed materials. This is mainly because each textile needs to be isolated before being effectively recycled.

The <strong>hydrothermal process uses only heat, water and less than 5% biodegradable green chemical<\/strong> to self-separate cotton and polyester blends. This fibre-to-fibre recycling method is <strong>cost-effective<\/strong>, and there&#8217;s no secondary pollution to the environment, ensuring the life of the recycled material is prolonged sustainably.
