Synthetic textile innovations: polyester fiber-to-fiber recycling for the advancement of sustainability
AATCC Review, Vol.11(4), pp.37-41

Abstract
Recycling polyester fiber is only one aspect of material production that can help promote sustainability in the fashion industry. Although advances are occurring in polyester development and synthetic fiber recycling, it is certainly not a cure for all environmental challenges. As the demand for clothing grows, fashion industry professionals must identify and target any areas within the production chain and implement more sustainable processes or practices with less negative impact. Despite its limitations, fiber-to-fiber closed-loop polyester recycling is a ground-breaking program that companies can participate in to decrease the negative impact of textile and garment production on the environment.
