The textile industry is one of the largest contributors to global waste production, with a significant environmental impact. Every year, more than 92 million tons of textile waste are generated—equivalent to one truckload of discarded fabrics every second. Of this massive amount, less than 20% is collected for reuse or recycling. The rest ends up in landfills or incinerators, which increases pollution and wasting valuable resources.
Recycling these materials is crucial to reducing waste volumes and conserving natural resources. In this context, Recy Technologies stands out with cutting-edge technologies, offering complete solutions that encompass washing, sorting, defibering, and transforming textiles into powder, preparing clean, regenerated materials for new industrial uses.
The first step in the process is the careful sorting of textiles by polymer, color, and type, ensuring efficient recycling, and guaranteeing optimal quality of the final product.
Recy Technologies has developed high-performance washing systems, both dry and wet, that effectively remove various types of contaminants. Among the most challenging pollutants are chemical residues, oils, greases, dyes, and organic substances, which, if not properly treated, can compromise the quality of the recycled material.
The washing process is tailored to the type of textile and contaminants involved, using eco-friendly detergents to ensure deep cleaning while minimizing environmental impact. This careful attention ensures a highly efficient and sustainable treatment.
After washing, the textiles undergo defibering, where Recy’s technology breaks down the materials into fibers or transforms them into fine powders, ready to be reintegrated into new production cycles. Recycled materials can be used for a variety of applications, such as compounds, dyes for the paper industry, insulating materials, or fabrics. Notably, the properties of the regenerated material are often equivalent to those of virgin materials.
Through these innovative processes, Recy Technologies transforms textile waste into valuable resources, actively contributing to a circular and sustainable production model.
With a continuous commitment to quality and efficiency, Recy Technologies is leading the industry toward a greener, more responsible future.
