Concordia Textiles plans to introduce a circular business model by leveraging PurFi’s waste upcycling solution. This solution yields high quality regenerated fiber from surplus stock. The recycling technology utilises product-specific data to monitor its incomings and outgoings, as well as the credentials of each bale before a patented solution separates and recycles textile fibers. The partnership combines the patented technology of PurFi with Concordia’s extensive know-how of fabrics and contributes to textile upcycling on a global level. It will utilise waste in manufacturing.
Concordia Textiles is a Belgian manufacturer. The company is trying to become a case in point for a fully-functioning facility upcycling waste garments that can then be recycled to a standard that’s equal to virgin fiber. PurFi is a recycling innovator based in the US. PurFi’s rejuvenation process makes use of fabric data and target data, information relating to bale-specific characteristics, such as fiber uses, an approximate yarn count, and finishes or treatments added and a predetermined algorithm generated for specified textile outputs. Essentially, the company knows the specifics of incoming waste before it arrives which enables it to act quickly and accurately to ensure garment waste is separated accordingly and recycled to yield a high quality product once more.
