This demands smart recycling ideas that enable all resources to be fed back into a circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how do you restore clothing to the production cycle as simply and quickly as possible? C\u00e9dric Vanhoeck and Vanessa Counaert of <a href=\"https:\/\/resortecs.com\">Resortecs \u00ae<\/a> asked themselves this very question. The founders of the Belgian start-up found a cost-efficient solution that also suited the industry and which made it possible to unstitch garments into their individual components again without any laborious and expensive manual labour. They invented \u201cSmart Stitch\u201d, a yarn that simply dissolves when exposed to strong heat and quickly breaks garments down into fabric, zips, buttons, sew-on patches and applications. Once it reaches a temperature of 130\u00b0C, the smart thread holding the individual components together simply dissolves, as the video demonstrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Winner of the Global Change Award<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resortecs \u00ae won one of five prizes from <a href=\"https:\/\/globalchangeaward.com\">Global Change Award<\/a> in 2018 with \u201cSmart Stitch\u201d. The H&amp;M Foundation Prize honours entrepreneurs who help create fresh approaches in different industries with novel, creative product ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resortecs \u00ae received the award for a product innovation that greatly simplifies the sorting, re-usage and recycling of used clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Feasability demonstrated by best-practice case in jeans manufacture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, in a joint best-practice case with <a href=\"https:\/\/unspun.io\">Unspun<\/a>, a sustainable US jeans label, Resortecs \u00ae also proved that the product idea has the potential to change jeans production long-term. It is possible to reduce the environmental impact of production by up to 50 percent. In this case study, the production and service life of a pair of fast-fashion denim jeans was compared with those of a pair of Unspun jeans manufactured on demand using \u201cSmart Stitch\u201d yarn. The 28 kg of CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions generated by the fast-fashion garment was reduced to 13 kg in the case of the Unspun jeans. These impressive CO<sub>2<\/sub> savings were due to combining the 3d power loom manufacturing method used by Unspun with Resortecs\u2019 \u00ae smart thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resortecs \u00ae has offered to develop a customised sustainability timetable for manufacturers to support the textile industry in implementing such circular processes. The plan, which is developed using a combination of lifecycle assessments and possible financing models, forms the basis for achieving sustainability targets profitably. This is how Resortecs \u00ae wishes to transform the textile industry and help set up a resource-saving circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Image: Markus Spiske on Unsplash<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More and more companies in the textile industry have signed up to the concept of the circular economy and the notion of using textiles for as long as possible.
