Fraunhofer IAP From Old Jeans to New T-Shirts: An Efficient Way of Recycling Cotton Clothes

摘要

The technical hurdles to recycling clothing made of cotton have been too high in the past,but now a team of researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP and a Swedish company have cleared that obstacle.They are the first to produce a viscose filament yarn made of recycled cotton.This fiber can even serve to mass-manufacture textiles.
