Nan Ya Plastics solves the problem of recycling composite plastic materials and reutilizes resources by recycling PET bottles and remanufacturing textiles using mono-materials.
The diverse raw material mix of textiles makes recycling these composite materials more difficult. In order to facilitate the fabric recycling process, Nan Ya Plastics launched the SAYA series of fibers to implement the concept of mono-materials.
Recycled PET: Mono-materials are easier to recycle
Nan Ya Plastics recycles all types of PET polyester materials and remanufactures them into fibers, which are then used to make mono-material clothing. This minimizes the need for virgin fibers and enables the manufacture of clothes that can be more easily broken down, recycled, and remanufactured at the end of their life cycle, and utilized in the production of new fabric.
Optimizing the manufacturing process, reducing resource consumption, and successfully recycling
Chromach technology uses 97% less water than traditional fabric dyeing processes. Through artificial intelligence separation technology, the material and color of fabrics can be identified more quickly and accurately, greatly increasing the speed of recycling. The separated fabrics undergo an environmentally friendly decolorization process to remove textile dyes, they go through a spinning process, and are finally remanufactured into new mono-material textiles.
Benefits
- Greenhouse gas emissions: This process can cut down carbon emissions by up to 72% when compared to virgin fiber manufacturing.
- Resource consumption: In 2020 and 2021, 5.9 billion and 8.7 billion PET bottles were recycled respectively as raw materials for SAYA fiber, helping to reduce the marine waste problem.
