Industrial-Scale Textile Recycling Process Validated by Axens, IFPEN, and JEPLAN
Axens, IFPEN, and JEPLAN have successfully validated an industrial-scale textile recycling process for post-consumer polyester waste, producing several tons of BHET monomer. This marks a significant step toward circular polyester production for the textile industry, particularly in sportswear, home goods, and luxury sectors. The semi-industrial plant in Japan processed several dozen tons of sorted French textile waste.
