Technology Overview
Fabric dyes pose a significant challenge to textile recycling. To address this issue in PET fabrics, ITRI’s PureTex Sustainable Decolorization Solution develops a water-based decoloring agent, which effectively restores PET materials to their original color while preserving the high quality of the fabrics. This innovation provides a reliable solution for the textile industry, enabling the development of zero-waste garment-to-garment closed-loop PET recycling.
