Axens, IFPEN, and JEPLAN Complete Industrial-Scale Textile Recycling Process for Polyester
Axens, IFPEN, and JEPLAN have successfully validated a textile-to-textile recycling process for polyester on an industrial scale, processing several tens of tons of post-consumer textile waste in Japan. The process produces the base monomer for 100% recycled polyester, marking a significant step toward circular polyester loops in the textile industry. The technology can be deployed at existing industrial sites, replacing fossil-based materials with recycled equivalents.
