CuRe Technology (Emmen, The Netherlands) Garbo Srl (Cerano, Italy), gr3n (Chiasso, Switzerland), and PerPETual (Remscheid, Germany), are companies all involved in developing new processes for chemically recycling PET polyester for fabric and garment production. Their processes all involve various depolymerization techniques to break down the polymers of waste PET into useful chemicals. With the aim of validating and scaling up these four promising technologies, Amsterdam-based Fashion for Good has just launched the 18-month "Full Circle Textiles Project - Polyester" to encourage their financing and secure offtake commitments from the fashion industry.
