Chalk one up for the circular economy. Creating the next generation of recycled polyester fiber, French green chemistry company Carbios said it can now turn polyester fabric back into polyester fiber.

The mechanical performance of polyester fibres is intrinsically linked to their microstructural organisation, which is strongly affected by thermal processing. Heat treatments such as annealing and ...

A well as removing removing the PU elastomer fiber, the new technology eliminates foreign materials such as dyes, and helps to omit the decolorization process of polyester fiber. Credit [ Liyao Xie- ...
