Research partnership has successfully developed regenerated cellulose fibre using a new production process that transforms discarded cotton fabric into regenerated fibre
The Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel (HKRITA) has partnered with Seiko Epson to develop a new regenerated cellulose fibre with a silk-like sheen from waste cotton fabric.
The result of a collaborative research and development on regenerated fibres agreement signed in January 2024, the process involves integrating Epson’s proprietary dry fibre technology for defibrating textiles with HKRITA’s fibre-dissolving technology.
