ReSuit aims for Danish circularity Country’s 85,000 tons of annual textile waste is to be sorted separately from 2022 – ahead of the rest of the EU. 7th May 2021 Within the Danish DK13 million project ReSuit – recycling technologies and sustainable textile product design – the suitability of applying hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technology for recycling polyester textiles at scale is to be explored. The process conceivably makes it possible – under the influence of water, heat and pressure – to convert a complex textile stream into oil products that can be used for the production of plastics, fuels or synthetic textile fibres. HTL is a well-known and robust technology, but it is ground-breaking to apply it to textiles, and companies within the ReSuit project aim to further develop the process for it to be scaled up.
