This technological feat contributes to advancing textile circularity when, today, the majority of recycled polyester is made from PET bottles, and only 1% of fibers are recycled into new fibers.&nbsp;&nbsp; The collective achievement marks an important milestone for the consortium\u2019s ultimate aim of demonstrating fiber-to-fiber closed loop using CARBIOS\u2019 biorecycling process at an industrial scale, and marks an important step forward for the textile industry\u2019s shift towards a circular economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>No ordinary t-shirt\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A plain, white T-shirt was a deliberate choice to showcase the technological achievement that made its production possible from mixed and colored textile waste.&nbsp;&nbsp; By using CARBIOS\u2019 biorecycling technology, polyester is broken down using enzymes into its fundamental building blocks which are reformed to produce biorecycled polyester whose quality is on par with oil-based virgin polyester. Petroleum can now be replaced by textile waste as a raw material to produce polyester textiles, that will in turn become raw materials again, thus fueling a circular economy, with the added benefit of a lower carbon footprint and avoidance of landfill or incineration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>No ordinary journey\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The t-shirt\u2019s production began with all consortium members (On, Patagonia, PUMA, PVH Corp. and Salomon) supplying rolls and production cutting scraps to CARBIOS in Clermont-Ferrand, France. This textile waste consisted of some mixed blends with cotton or elastane, as well as various treatments (such as durable water repellent) and dyes which render them complex to recycle using conventional methods. The collected waste was deconstructed into its original monomers, PTA<sup>1<\/sup>&nbsp;and MEG<sup>2<\/sup>, using CARBIOS\u2019 biorecycling technology at its pilot facility. The resulting monomers were then repolymerized, spun into yarn and woven into new fabric by external partners, demonstrating the seamless integration into existing manufacturing processes. The resulting sports t-shirt made from 100% textile waste meets the quality standards and sustainability objectives of the apparel brands present in the \u201cfiber-to-fiber\u201d consortium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CARBIOS\u2019 demonstration plant in Clermont-Ferrand, France, has been up and running since 2021, and its first commercial plant, the world\u2019s first industrial-scale enzymatic PET recycling plant, is currently under construction in Longlaville, France. In addition, CARBIOS recently announced several letters of intent with PET producers in Asia and Europe, confirming global interest in its biorecycling technology and advancing the international roll-out of its licensing model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Emmanuel Ladent, CEO, CARBIOS :<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cIt may look like an ordinary t-shirt, but make no mistake, the technology behind it is extraordinary! To achieve \u201cfiber-to-fiber\u201d recycling is a technological feat. CARBIOS couldn\u2019t have done it alone, so thanks to the collaboration with our consortium partners, we have overcome many technical hurdles together to produce the world\u2019s first enzymatically recycled t-shirt made entirely from biorecycled fibers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Beg\u00fcm K\u00fcrk\u00e7\u00fc, Director of Sustainabililty, On:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cWe know that fiber-to-fiber recycling is a crucial step to drive our industry towards circularity, which is why we have dedicated energy and investment to researching this area. Achieving the proof-of-concept and creating the first T-shirt made out of 100% biorecycled fibers is an important milestone.
