Recycling Fibre Selector – closing the loop for effective Cotton-Fibre-Recycling

The Recycling Fibre Selector (RFS) closes the loop in the ring-spinning process by recycling textile production waste and textiles. Valuable long fibres are reused in high-quality yarns, enabling cotton to be utilised up to twice as efficiently.

Description

The textile industry faces the challenge of meeting the growing demand for cotton fibres in a sustainable, resource-efficient and cost-effective manner. The project addresses this challenge by developing and implementing, on an industrial scale, an innovative technology for the more efficient use of available fibre resources.

Thanks to innovations in the targeted processing and optimisation of recycled fibres, these can be used to a greater extent in the production of high-quality yarns, particularly in more demanding applications such as ring spinning, without significantly compromising product quality or cost-effectiveness.

The technology thus addresses existing limitations in current processing methods and opens up new possibilities for the use of resource-efficient raw materials in industrial yarn production. At the same time, it reduces raw material wastage, increases material efficiency and supports compliance with future regulatory requirements in the field of sustainable and circular textiles.

The project thus makes a significant contribution to the further development of sustainable production processes in the textile industry and promotes the transition to a circular value chain.
