#CollabAlert: Resortecs partners with Decathlon to create a fully recyclable swimwear collection without compromising performance, functionality, or aesthetics. 🩱 Creating a swimwear garment with a recyclable fabric alone isn't enough to meet the required performance and comfort, for which elastic bands are needed. The problem is that those elastic bands completely block the recycling of the swimwear as they are not processable by recyclers. This is where Resortecs comes in. Resortecs' Smart Stitch™, combined with Smart Disassembly™, enables the efficient separation of the elastic bands from the main fabric at the end of the garment's life. 🔄 Read more about the collaboration via 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e2YVXYbq Acerina Trejo Machin, PhD #Resortecs #RecyclingMadeEasy #Recycling #CircularFashion #SustainableFashion #CircularEconomy #SmartStitch #DesignedForDisassembly #ActiveDisassembly #CircularInnovation #CircularTechnology #Collab #Decathlon #RecyclableSwimwear #NoCompromises #SustainableStyle

About us
Resortecs – REcycling, SORting, TEChnologieS – is an ecodesign frontrunner, leading the circular transition in fashion with design for disassembly. We make textile recycling easy for brands, sorters, and recyclers with heat-dissolvable stitching threads and thermal disassembly systems. Automating textile disassembly to simplify and accelerate textile recycling. Through targeted innovations in the way textile products are assembled and disassembled, we help fashion players rise to today’s environmental challenges at the pace and scale Earth needs. All without compromising the creativity, design, and quality of clothing. Resortecs' thermal disassembly solution is five times faster than traditional disassembly methods and makes it possible to recycle up to 90% of the original fabric material: • Smart Stitch™, our range of 16 bio-based and synthetic heat-dissolvable stitching threads, with different melting points (150 °C, 170 °C and 190 °C), enables brands to make products designed for disassembly, repair, and recycling from the manufacturing stage. • Smart Disassembly™, our thermal disassembly system, enables recyclers to unlock higher volumes of premium-quality material, processing millions of garments/year with low emissions and no material damage so that fabrics can be used over and over again. Welcome to sustainability's next level: circularity.

#RiskAlert Market Access Challenges 🌍 The textile industry is facing significant market access challenges due to deficiencies in recycled material availability. Why is this happening? 🤔 ➡️ 60-70% deficiency in availability of recycled material leading to non-compliance with ESPR law. Impact on your business 📥 Similar to recycled content market volatility, the inability to place products on the market due to a 60-70% deficiency in recycled content exposes you to risks of non-compliance and substantial revenue loss. Curious to learn how to mitigate multiple industry risks and safeguard your business?

What if we talked about a product's lifecycle cost instead of its procurement cost? Yes, certified and next gen materials often (not always) cost more upon procurement. But what if we think of the entire lifecycle of the product. We know that Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes will be implemented across Europe and potentially even the US. EPR results in higher costs for brands that are not doing things the "right" way, but did you know that eco-modulation can mean that brands that are doing things the right way get bonuses? Take the example of France, which has had EPR for textiles in place since 2007, eco-modulation bonuses can go up to 0.70 Euros per product in some cases! Whereas the eco-tax can be between 0.02-.12 Euros. What can qualify for a bonus in France? 1) Bonuses for product sustainability (durability), 2) Bonuses for obtaining environmental labels, 3)Bonuses for incorporating raw materials from recycling. And these may be cumulative. That's a pretty good carrot for companies to do the right thing! And a product lifecycle view could give brands a more accurate picture of total costs. See below an example from our report featuring examples from innovators Resortecs and Simplifyber, "Next Gen to this Gen: Scaling Material Innovations in the Fashion Industry" which you can read here: https://lnkd.in/eW-4ruU4. What do you think? Does this make a difference for procurement decisions? #thisisthefuture #sustainablefashion #nextgen #materialinnovation #circularity #businesscaseforsustainability Cédric Vanhoeck Maria Intscher-Owrang What do you think?

Chief Sustainability & Impact Officer at Resortecs | Science + Circularity = Environmental & Social Impact | Tedx Speaker | LinkedIn Top Voice
Last week, I had the absolute honor of being a keynote speaker at the European Forum Alpbach, thanks to Pioneers.io invitation! Sharing how Resortecs is flipping the script on one of the world’s most polluting industries—turning textiles into a #responsible, #sustainable #circulareconomy —was an incredible experience. But the highlight? Rubbing shoulders with some of the brightest minds and eco-warriors out there, including a mind-blowing book discussion with Nobel Prize-winning physicist Anton Zeilinger on his book "Dance of the Photons." It was a perfect fusion of science, tech, and life—a reminder that asking questions is the secret sauce to pushing boundaries and driving innovation. Alpbach was more than just an event; it was a powerful reminder that curiosity and collaboration are key to creating the future we want. Feeling inspired, energized, and ready to keep shaking things up! Thanks Pioneers.io namely Thomas Gabriel Anton Schilling, Michael Obrist and Sophie Rab for the invitation and the great welcome. #EFA2024 #Sustainability #Innovation #CircularEconomy #Ecodesign #publicspeaking

#RiskAlert Volatility in Recycled Materials 🌍 The textile industry is grappling with the high volatility of the availability and price of recycled materials. Why is this happening? 🤔 ➡️ Material losses in current pre-processing and recycling. ➡️ Decrease in recycled food-grade r-PET availability. ➡️ Low TRL sorting technologies operating at lower capacities, quality, and yields.
