Polyester Recycling Trial at Gneuss: The Critical Role of Feedstock
The Closed Loop Fashion team recently visited Gneuss Kunststofftechnik GmbH in Germany to conduct thermo-mechanical recycling trials with post-industrial polyester textile waste from Morocco. The trials assessed the feasibility of converting well-segregated cutting waste into recycled polyester pellets, generating practical insights into feedstock quality requirements and the conditions needed to advance polyester recycling in the textile sector.
