Innovating Textile Recycling: The Amber Cycle Process

In an effort to address the mounting environmental concerns associated with textile waste, a pioneering team has developed an innovative process to recycle garments, specifically targeting polyester blends. This breakthrough not only aims to reduce waste but also to create a sustainable loop within the textile industry.

The Core Motivation: Understanding Fabric Components

The journey begins with collecting various garments to deepen their understanding of textile composition. The team, which includes Shea and Ahmed, focuses primarily on identifying the key ingredients within fabrics. Their research pinpointed polyester as a critical material due to its widespread use in clothing and its environmental footprint.
