BURSA – Denim manufacturer ISKO has secured a licensing agreement with the Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel (HKRITA) to leverage its separation and recycling solution.
The Green Machine, as it’s known, works via a hydrothermal method that separates polyester and can decompose cotton into cellulose powder for reuse.
“Our investment in this new technology is another milestone towards our full circularity vision,” said ISKO CEO, Fatih Konukoğlu. “ISKO has a total commitment to sustainability and through our responsible innovation approach, we are constantly looking for new ways of working towards the future of a fully circular fashion industry.”
