Epson and the Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel have developed a silk-like regenerated fibre from waste cotton. The process combines dry and wet recycling technologies to create premium yarn for luxury fashion, addressing rising demand for sustainable materials and reducing the environmental impact of textile waste.
The Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel (HKRITA) and Seiko Epson Corporation’s year-long collaboration has succeeded in repurposing waste cotton fabric to develop regenerated cellulose fibre with strength of cotton.
In a move to provide speedy recycling solution for industry applications, the Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel Limited (HKRITA) and Seiko Epson Corporation have inked an agreement to develop an innovative fibre recycling solution.
