Circu-Texfilm
Category: Mechanical/Materials
Developers: SINGTEX Group
Product Description:Circu-Texfilm uses AI spectral sorting and chemical depolymerization to recycle PET/PU and PET/OP textiles into waterproof, breathable polyurethane films. It achieves 96% sorting accuracy, processes one garment per second and cuts 1,000 tons of textile waste. Furthermore, its breathability and water resistance support scalable circular textile solutions. Textile-to-textile recycling is vital for sustainability, yet only about 1% of textiles are recycled into new fabrics. Circu-Texfilm offers a cost-effective, high-efficiency solution to recycle PET composites and blended textiles into waterproof, breathable polyurethane films. According to the U.S. EPA, over 17 million tons of textile waste were generated in 2018, with polyester comprising 25–30% of the market. Circu-Texfilm could increase global recycling by 4.25–5.1 million tons annually, accelerating decarbonization and circularity. Traditional chemical recycling is limited to single-material fabrics. Circu-Texfilm overcomes this by integrating AI spectral sorting with chemical depolymerization and developing a system to accurately identify PET/Spandex blends. This breakthrough enables recycling of complex textile waste. Circu-Texfilm also supports sustainable alternatives for high-performance apparel, outdoor gear and military use.
