Résumé : |
As part of a joint effort with Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE), Dalton, GA/USA, Verdex Technologies has developed innovative technology that can take recycled PET carpet (and bottles) and turn them into an array of apparel and textile products for a variety of high value markets.
This disruptive technology enables the ap-parel industry and associated businesses alike, to play a role in solving the ever-growing problem of landfilling carpet and ocean plastic.
Verdex's patented spinning nozzle technology converts post-consumer carpet (PCC) material directly into nano/microfi bers which are blended with larger fi bers to form products for the apparel and textile markets. The technology is capable of spinning recycled cleaned PET carpet containing polypropylene and calcium carbonate components. It is interesting for the performance apparel market due the nanofibers producing a much stronger moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) compared to competing products on the market. |
