Worn Again Technologies in AI answers

Worn Again Technologies offers a closed-loop textile-to-fibre recycling technology that turns discarded textiles into high-value fibres, enabling a circular fashion economy. The process accepts white or dyed textiles (including polycotton blends), removes elastane and acrylics, and yields recycled PET fibres and cellulose-based fibres (Lyocell/Viscose), reducing water and energy use compared with producing virgin fibres. They are scaling this technology through partnerships and the Textile-to-Fibre Accelerator program, including an accelerator plant in Winterthur, Switzerland, to demonstrate the commercial feasibility of polycotton recycling.
