Recycling Platform
CETI’s Recycling platform provides industrial players with comprehensive pilot and pre-industrial capabilities to develop, validate and scale up textile recycling solutions.
“Covering mechanical and thermomechanical recycling routes, and working in close collaboration with actors of chemical recycling, the platform supports the development of circular textile materials and products across a wide range of industrial applications.
Designed for applied R&D, industrial validation and circular economy projects, this platform enables the valorisation of textile waste streams and recycled materials under conditions representative of industrial constraints.”
Applications & industrial use cases
The Recycling platform supports a wide range of industrial development and validation activities.
Development of textile recycling solutions based on mechanical and thermomechanical routes
Valorisation of post-industrial, pre-consumer and post-consumer textile waste streams
Development of recycled filaments, fibers and polymer materials for textile applications
Support for open-loop and closed-loop recycling strategies
Validation of textile applications for materials originating from chemical recycling
Production of representative recycled materials and textile prototypes for industrial validation
How CETI uses this platform
CETI uses the Recycling platform to deliver technical development, validation and optimisation services across the textile recycling value chain.
It enables feasibility studies, process optimisation and qualification of recycled materials under industrially relevant conditions.
The platform supports both material-oriented and process-oriented recycling developments.
CETI teams leverage strong expertise in recycling processes, polymers, fibers and textile technologies.
This experience enables the delivery of pragmatic, application-oriented solutions adapted to the challenges faced by industrial partners.
Looking to develop, validate or scale up a textile solution? CETI teams are available to discuss your project and identify the most relevant technical approach.
recycling capabilities
The Recycling platform integrates complementary capabilities at CETI and its subsidiary CETIA, enabling preparation, transformation and valorisation of a wide range of textile waste streams.
It encompasses:
The Mechanical Recycling platform for fiber recovery and reuse
The Thermomechanical Recycling platform for polymer recovery and pellet production
Collaboration with chemical recycling players to validate the textile valorisation of recycled polymers
Integration with CETI’s Compounding / Spinning / Fibers, Nonwovens, and Yarn Spinning / Weaving / Knitting platforms to evaluate processability and end-use performance
This integrated approach supports the development of industrially viable and market-oriented recycling solutions.
Associated platforms
CETI’s Recycling platform is built around two complementary and interconnected technological pillars:
