There Is A Way To Recycle Old Clothes. Swedish Recycling Company Develops New Technologies.

Many places will have old clothing recycling points, but the biggest problem is that they can't make good use of recycled clothing.

Recently, Swedish textile recycling company has developed a new technology that has completely changed the clothing industry.

According to reports, re:newcell AB takes advantage of new technologies.

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 said cellulose based textile fiber recycling process can greatly extend the use of human resources.

Re:newcell AB, a 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.

The natural materials such as viscose fiber account for only 1/3 of them, and 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.

Malcolm Norlin, chairman of the company's board of directors, said: "we are delighted to be able 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.

Scandinavian pulp manufacturers in wood pulp textile fibers

A breakthrough has been made, and manufacturers have developed an environmentally friendly method of making white wood and pine trees into garments and sofa fabrics.
