Pontex employs fiber recycling technology to convert discarded textiles into high-strength heatpressed boards, ideal for furniture and interior decoration applications.
Taiwan annually recycles about 82,000 metric tons of old clothing. When adding up waste from textile factories and unsold seasonal products, the volume of discarded textiles becomes substantial. Up to 40% of these textiles are typically incinerated. Pontex and its partners address this issue with innovative fiber recycling technology, transforming textiles that cannot be closeloop recycled within the industry into decorative boards.
Sorting and Material Composite Technology
Pontex begins by sorting and separating fabric fibers from waste textiles. The discarded clothes are then automatedly shredded and processed using optimized production formulas. They are molded into composite heat-pressed boards with a design that includes easy demolding surfaces and edge refinement. These boards are known for their high strength, durability, and longevity, verified through field demonstrations and testing. Furthermore, boards made from recycled textile fibers in multiple colors offer unique patterns and gloss finishes suitable for furniture and interior decoration applications.
Benefits
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the manufacturing of virgin materials and incinerating discarded textiles.
